What about Room by Emma Donoghue?
 
The story is told by a 5 year-old boy so the language and grammar is that of a young boy.
 
I don �t know if books by Alexander Mccall Smith might be suitable for your purposes. 
 
I �ll try and think of some more ideas.

google books lists them, but my sample did not find any with a preview available.
