[comp.edu] Texts/Curriculum for teaching Middle/High school Comp. Sci.

Does anyone know of any good books for middle school and high school
students wanting to learn the basics of computer science?

I am about to start tutoring a 13-year-old home-schooled kid in computer
programming/science.  He has already done quite a bit of hacking around
on his PC, so I'd like suggestions about books/curricula aimed at a level
higher than the "Hello world" type of stuff.  Maybe some simple algorithms,
data structures, etc.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I will post a summary of any info.

Thanks.
