I'm reading the chocolate war with my woth graders in summer school now
the red pony

stephen king books are nice and violent, which boys seem to like

You know what might be a good one? 'The Body' it's a novella by Stephen King, it's the story 'stand by me' was based on. Very make centered, action, etc, but still an intelligent read.

Hatchet by Gary Paulson, he actually has a lot of books but its about a boy who survives a plane crash surviving in the wild.

That's a good one.. or 'my Side of the Mountain'..but I read that and the hatchet in about 4th grade..so I don't know. In 9th grade I read a lot of Tom Robbins but that's a lot of sexual stuff

The Milagro Beanfield War is also a good story, but I forget if it is for that age group... I think so.
