My problem is not with the chapter fiction books because we don't focus on these as much during reading classes. We focus more on teaching the strategies through non-fiction and then we model with fiction during read aloud and the kids practice during SSR when we conference with them. The problem I am running into is the non-fiction articles and trade books that I had been using and stocked my classroom with are now being borrowed by the third grade teachers so that next year most of what I have been using for several years will not be able to be used. I am all about using new material and each year I find better texts to use but there are some that are just hard to beat when trying to teach a difficult strategy.
