Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions they made on this topic. It was also
nice to hear that other librarians are experiencing the same problems with their
students' lack of imagination. I actually thought of a great one for my older
classes that I'm currently in the middle of: Jerry Spinelli's "The Library Card".

Weslandia - Fleischman (numerous mentions of this one)

Oh, Were They Ever Happy - Peter Spier

Thanks again to all who helped; the students have loved the choices I've made so
far.
