Nancy Atwell's school website has great lists of books for middle schoolers. They are generated by her students who are all involved in reading - of course through their own interests. You might also look at day to Day Assessment in the reading Workshop - supposedly for 3 - 6 but I believe works well on up. Lots of ideas for generating student engagement and involvement and self assessment, metacognition.
