At our Jr/Sr HS, there's one freshman boy that reads voraciously. Honestly, authors don't write fast enough for him. Our budget is limited and must be spread over grades 6-12.
Though I can't afford to buy solely for Eli, I'm looking to add some new series and would like to know what other libraries consider their top favorites for grades 7-12. (We have the standards like Michael Vey, Harry Potter, Alex Rider, etc.)
Thx! It's always great to learn what other schools' students enjoy.

   Gone series           Michael Grant
