Great Middle Grade Reads discussion

I work at a school library in Canada. I'm constantly looking for suggestions as to good books to put into our library. The suggestions should have little or no swearing, bedroom scenes, violence, etc. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Do you have The Book Thief, Warning's Wane, Turning Point, A Bend in the River, Train to Pakistan, India, Bharat and Pakistan: The Constitutional Journey of a Sandwiched Civilisation?

Also, Check other books by these all authors to keep there.

Here are a few I would suggest reviewing for the middle-grade readers:

"New Kid" series by Jerry Craft
"Jack the Bad Crow" series by Holly Jo Flora
"Colby's Adventures" series by Shanley Mahsay
"The Ghostly Adventures of Jamie O'Hare" by C. Wade Jacobs
"Winterhouse" series by Ben Guterson

I really appreciate Shanley's work here. I'm not familiar with others as of now but "Colby's Adventures" series by Shanley Mahsay was so soothing, specially for children.

Every month, we recommend favorite titles that we've recently read. I recommend scrolling through the "The best book I read in ..." thread under the Currently Reading header. It's a good place to start.
