I used to use the catalogs from jobbers (Brodart, Econoclad, etc.) to help
me select books in appropriate for my middle school collection.  I don't
recall which, but one of them lists the books by Dewey classification,
making it easy to find books on a particular topic.  The blurbs in these
catalogs indicate reading levels and interest levels.

On the subject of The Depression, may I suggest Cynthia Rylant's Something
Permanent.  This is a collection of photographs by Walker Evans accompanied
by poetry by Rylant.  The Depression is outside our middle school
curriculum, but when I had students interested in those times, I recommended
Something Permanent.  It's not the kind of book a casual poetry reader would
choose, but every one of my students who borrowed this book was profoundly
affected by it.
