A good source to check would be the Charlotte Huck book on children's literature.
It had a whole section of recommended titles. I could look at it when I get home
later, if you do not have a copy of it.

is only one site that lists Novels in Verse. There are more.
Many recommended going to Titlewave and looking under "verse novels" to find more
titles
