I would add "Monster," by Walter Dean Myers, a great favorite of boys.
A phenomenal reference (with workshops and video-on-demand you can do in full or dabble in whenever you want, teaching strategies, student work, involvement with authors) is the site from Annenburg Media: http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/tml/ It has a section on multicultural literature for the middle years. This is a treasure.
