I love all these suggestions.  Going back a "few" years, there are some timeless but really fun series like: Artemis Fowl (love this!), A Wrinkle in Time, The Name of this Book is Secret, Brandon Mull's Fablehaven.  More recently Derek Barnes' art mystery series like The VanGogh Deception have really kept my attention while being totally appropriate for 6th grade.  I also LOVE James Ponti's City Spies series.

Hello everyone,

I had this request from a teacher and was wondering if you have any suggestions for appropriate titles for one of our sixth graders?  He likes any genre including fantasy.  Thanks in advance!

 "I have a student who is reading at an upper high school level (he's maxed out on IXL! kid genius) and his mom is looking for recommendations for books he can read that are subject appropriate for a 6th grader, but more challenging than say Refugee or Esperanza Rising. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for me that I could pass along to mom? He has read most of the popular series like HP and Maze Runner. "
