There are a lot of good ones out there. The best one I've found was King Fortis the Brave by LaMontagne and Snyder. It's about a pair of twins that are pulled into a magical land where they find themselves caught in the middle of a battle for control of the realm. The boy twin, Rodney, is mistaken for King Fortis, an Arthur-like figure that is to someday return in the time of the land's greatest need. It's really a great book full of humor and adventure. I recommend it to my students all the time and have had students that really hate to read come back and tell me how much they love it.

My dear God in Heaven, I hope you're not a teacher!
First, it's "high schoolers", not "high scholars", at least not yet.
Second, it's "their" not "there reading level."
Third; A Stranger in A Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay, Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko - although you might want to screen that one for content, Snow Crash (I forget the author).

A swifty tilting planet. A wrinkle in time. Little Women. Any of the books in the GOR series. Anything by Madam Lingle

I would recommend a fantasy collection (available in paperback) called "The Chronicles of Thomas Convenant".

JD Sallinger's Catcher in the Rye was really appealing to me when I was in high school.
