Anything by Mary Roach.  Kids love her writing style.  Also, don't overlook graphic non-fiction.

Unfortunately, most of these books are costly and if you do Accelerated Reader at your school, are only .5 or 1 point books. However, nonfiction is what our MS teachers are encouraging and actually require.

I have 31 books I think student might read, but I'm wondering if you all have great recs that you have had success with. Of course they like the serial killer stuff and the overcoming eating disorders/addiction/mental illness books, but I'm at a loss as to what that might entail. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you might have for any YA Nonfiction!
