I see a few recommend the Harry Potter Series, but you may run into problems with jehovah's witnesses and other very devout religious people. They are not allowed to read about witchcraft. I have read: Taking Sides (which leads to a great debate on school financing, or Section 8 housing), Esperanza Rising, Tuck Everalsting, Number the Stars (Excellent story to go along with WWII in history class, as it covers the Holocaust). Other good books would be Maniac Magee, The Giver, the list goes on and on.

Warriors!!! (Not violent at all... not really)
It's about warrior cats in clans. Yes it sounds unrealistic and funny, but the series is actually very intriguing. By Erin Hunter (which is really a pen name that 2 people share). Once you read the first one, your hooked. I have a collection and pre-order every book & the field guide: secrets of the clans in May. Yes, I'm addicted- about the only thing i'm addited to- besides neopets, but Warriors more. And I'm an 8th grader. Many read Harry Potter, etc. but this book is truly unique. Here's the order the books come in, (yes you REALLY REALLY need to read them in order... hopefully they're not sold out or checked out at the library, like they always are here)....
~Warriors~
Book One: Into the Wild
Book Two: Fire and Ice
Book Three: Forest of Secrets
Book Four: Rising Storm
Book Five: A Dangerous Path
Book Six: The Darkest Hour
~Warriors: The New Prophecy~
Book One: Midnight
Book Two: Moonrise
Book Three: Dawn
Book Four: Starlight
Book Five: Twilight
Book Six: Sunset
Upcoming:
~Warriors: The Power of Three~
~Warriors: Firestar's Quest~
~Warriors: Secrets of the clans~
~Warriors: Manga~
~Warriors: The Movie (read the books first...just a tip)~
As you can see, after all this- it's been doing pretty good.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and all of the books in the series.
Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series.
Pretty much anything that's adventurous is good.

I like books by Meg Cabot and Margaret Peterson Haddix. Used to like a series of books called Madison Finn.
