Can anyone make a recommendation if I wanted to introduce a 12 year old to Anime for the first time? Is shōnen the way to go or is there a better starting point? I would ultimately like to get him reading Manga but I figured Anime might be a better way to get started.

I'm a bit out of the loop as the last thing I watched was 30 years ago (Akira).

maybe Dragonball (the first series, non-z non-gt, non-super)
Detective Conan/ Case Closed

studio ghibli movies (totoro may be too childish, but laputa might be a good choice)

Case Closed looks good but there seems to be a daunting number of episodes!

yeah, true.
but most episodes are single epsiode - single plot. sometimes double features.
but the big overarching story is not very prominent.
