HIGH: Books for Reluctant Readers

[Mark & Judy Meadows <marktime@MO-NET.COM>]

Can anyone suggest books that would be on 9th and 10th grade level that
would appeal to boys who hate to read? I have been trying to buy some
paperbacks that the high schoolers would read.  I have some fantasy and
sci-fi, but these are not of interest to the hard cases.  The ones I am
thinking of only want to read about cars.  It is really difficult to find
material that will interest these boys in my library.  They are NOT
motivated to read the classics.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
