I taught struggling readers at the same grade level and some of the books they really enjoyed were Among the Hidden, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, Something Upstairs, by Avi, and Touching Spirit Bear, by Ben Mikaelson. These books were good and not as typical like Holes or Hatchet. We read these as classroom "shared novels" with lots of discussion, vocabulary and comprehension work.
