The most fun ones I know of that middle schoolers love are Joy Mosoff's books. They both have over 50 topics that make for so much fun teaching non-fiction. The topics definitely capture the kid's interest and present correct scientific and historical information at the same time. You'll have lots and lots of fun with them.
Oh Yuck! The Encylclopedia of Everything Nasty This has all kinds of topics like bacteria, bugs, burping, body odor, mummines, scabs, toilets. It actually has some very scientific info in a really delightful fun presentation. Oh Yikes! History's Grossest, Wackiest Moments. - Topics like Lewis and Clark: A Tale- and a Trail - of Laxatives, Killer Kings, Miserable Medicines like mashed lizard eyeballs, gladiators, prisons and punishments, Horrible Henry and His Seven Dead Wives.
