Elem: What books are your boys reading?

[Kristen Clark <sequoyahlibrary@HOTMAIL.COM>]

While doing my collection development for this year, I've noticed that many
of my books tend to be girl-oriented because they are the most vocal on what
they would like to read.  What are your 3rd-5th grade boys reading?  I'm
looking for fiction geared towards boys that read through a 7th grade
reading level (dealing with topics that are safe for an elementary school.)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I'll post a hit.

Here's what mine are reading:
Marvin Redpost
Dave Sargent's Animal Pride Series
Magic Attic
Redwall
Horrible Harry

What else would you suggest?  The "My Name is America" books haven't gone
over too well here.
