Thanks for the HIT, Alma.
I decided to give whatshouldireadnext dot com a try.
I put in Alex Rider and Horowitz as my search (great favorite in my Middle School).
One of the suggestions was Skinny Dip by Hiaasen... I don't think it's one I want
to recommend to my MS boys.

Thank you so much to the library geniuses out there. I got "hooked up" with
2 sites, and found one in the archives. Here is the info. for those who asked
for a hit. Again, thank you to those who responded. Below is my original
request, followed by the responses. Alma
Is there a site that will give me information on books that are similar to
popular books that have "ended their run"? For example, if a student liked the
Stephenie Meyer "Twilight" series or Harry Potter series, etc. this site (if
it existed) would contain books I could direct them to read because of
their similarity to their past favorites.
Thanks,
The responses:
1) Do you have access to Novelist? It is a database paid for by our state.
There is at least one other really good website that I believe is free but I
am totally blanking on it at the moment.
2) http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/
Here it is--What should I read next?
