Try the Bluford Series by Townsend Press. They are quite reasonably priced and my students, both boys and girls, love them!

I need to get my hands on a list of books (or online resource) designed to engage boys who are 11 or 12 years old but test at a reading level of a 3rd or 4th grader. Clearly the Cam Jensen and Horrible Harry series don't work because the kids would not only be ashamed to carry these books but the books feature protagonists who are themselves in 2nd or 3rd grades - so there's no connection. The ORCA books are usually a great fit for my low 6th graders but this year, the 15:1 kids exiting from 5th grade have been mainstreamed into my 6th grade reading class. Thanks in advance for your help.
