Does anyone have recommended books for 6th graders?

I have some 6th graders who are reading on a 3-4th grade reading level, and I need to choose some group reading books for them. I would like to choose books that don't seem like "baby" books and that would keep the kids motivated, encouraged, and interested. Any suggestions?
Answer
I used to teach sixth grade and I had the same problem. All of the popular books, like Magic Tree House, etc, were too babyish for them.
The Time Warp Trio books were of interest to some of my students. Same basic idea as Magic Tree House, but it involves a group of three boys, and they seem to keep the interest of an older audience.
There is also a series of books by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor that is on a fourth grade reading level. The first of the series is called The Boys Start the War. The second is The Girls Get Even; the third is Boys Against Girls...you get the idea. There are 12 in all. They are definitely entertaining, and they are written about a topic that is popular with any school aged child - who is better - the boys, or the girls?
