Novel Recommendations for GATE and Advanced Readers

For the advanced reader, there is a challenge of finding appropriate material to read at an advanced level. What can be harder is finding the time to preview everything before your child reads it. If your student loves non-fiction, it can be easier to get higher level text. Fiction is a little harder. If you have a book or a series that YOU have personally read that you can recommend, please post it here. Be sure to include what level you think the book is at (ie-7th grade level text that my 3rd grade daughter enjoyed) and a brief summary. Together we can lighten the load. :)
