Dear Pat, I would suggest "Alabama Moon," one of the "Hatchet" books, "Bud Not Buddy," "Freak the Mighty," "Surviving the Applewhites," the Percy Jackson series, "Graveyard Book," and (if it's not too violent for your taste) "Hunger Games," which didn't spend longer than 15 minutes on my shelf at any point last year.

These are also students who do not find reading enjoyable. I am looking for recommendations of books with a lot of adventure and action. Books that the kids can't put down. I do a lot of the reading aloud with lots of discussion so books can be on grade level. Any suggestions?
