Thank you! Yes, using winners of children's awards makes it much easier. We're talking 12-14 year-olds here, so about as young teen as it gets.
Hm... I don't think I liked The Westing Game myself, but maybe I should try re-reading it. And I loved and read many times the other two books.
I think I need to try to balance genres some, too - I talked about fantasy the last time, so should include some realistic fiction. But (thinking while I type and rambling on here), I don't think there's much point in recommending difficult adult classics - they're just not old enough to understand them, and they'd be much better off reading books for their own age.
