Amy,
   I really like the Creative Classics series published by Creative
Education. Each book is one short story from classic literature (_The
Lady or The Tiger_  is one example).
   These have several advantages:
        1. some students, who have never finished a "whole book", find their
first success with one of these;
        2. the print is large enough to not be intimidating but not so large as
to be "babyish" for middle schoolers (or high school);
        3. the stories themselves are quality literature from well-known
authors;
        4. for schools using Accelerated Reader, almost all of the titles in
this series have AR tests available.
