Try the book "Heir Apparent" by Vivian Vande Velde. SciFi set in future w/artificial intelligence machines and games. Main character, a "gamer" (happens to be a girl) goes into a Virtual Reality game set in medieval times and gets "stuck" in the game, unable to get out until she successfully completes game, or dies from VR computer overloading her brain. Reading level is something like 5.4. I highly recommend it! Boys and girls LOVE it.

He started a reading club for his eighth graders, featured the book Twilight, and attracted a lot of kids. The catch: all girls, of course. So now my friend is looking for a sci fi book or sci fi series that will attract some of the boys in his target group. Any ideas? Remember I'm looking for eighth grade interest but maybe a bit lower in terms of reading level. Thanks in advance!
