[LM_NET] Book Suggestions Needed

[Teresa Schauer <pettushs@GMAIL.COM>]

Good afternoon, Collective Brain!

I am trying to pull a book list together with some very specific
requirements, and would like your help.  I am planning to use these titles
as read-alouds/audio books for a book club that will be comprised of
struggling readers in grades 9-12.  I am looking for books that meet the
following criteria:

-award winning titles
-not much edgy content, if any
-universal appeal, but mainly for boys

I am struggling with the "not much edgy" content, because as a HS librarian,
I know that it's the edgy content that pulls in the struggling readers, more
than anything.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
