Answers to your questions

Well thank you for all the great responses!

I can give you some famous authors who write books for middle schoolers.
Gary Paulsen
Andrew Clements
Louis Sachar
Roald Dahl
Scott O'Dell
Jerry Spinelli

Also, any popular series would be great. i.e. The Twilight Series, Unfortunate Events, Harry Potter, or maybe even other not so popular ones. Newberry Award Winners are always great too.

Basically, if you go into a book store and look in the 'young teen' section, that is some guidance. I would love to have some classics as well as modern books. My students range in reading from 3rd grade to HS, so I can for sure use a variety!

I have gotten several books before at McKays which is always great, but they still aren't as cheap as they used to be.

THANKS!

Put me down for buying the Harry Potter series books 1-6 and I'll have them shipped to you. Maybe those of us that buy some can post it so we don't have repeats. :) Happy to help, love you!

Scott is willing to part with the Goosebumps series. Call me to arrange a pick up or delivery!
