Summer Book Recommendations for Middle Graders

We are very lucky at my school to have our local librarian, Kathy Jarombek, come to give the third - fifth graders a list of great summer reads. Here are the books the Perrot Library recommends for this summer:

DOLL BONES by Holly Black
DREAMER WISHER LIAR by Charise Mericle Harper
ESCAPE FROM MR. LEMONCELLO’S LIBRARY by Chris Grabenstein
FLORA & ULYSSES by Kate DiCamillo
THE FORBIDDEN LIBRARY by Django Wexler
LANTERN SAM AND THE BLUE STREAK BANDITS by Michael Beil
ODD WEIRD AND LITTLE by Patrick Jennings
OPERATION BUNNY by Sally Gardner
ROOFTOPPERS by Katherine Rundell
TREASURE OF WAY DOWN DEEP by Ruth White
TRUE BLUE SCOUTS OF SUGAR MAN SWAMP  by Kathi Appelt
ZANE AND THE HURRICANE by Rodman Philbrick

I can't wait to get started reading! What would you add to the list? Any middle grade books you want to read this summer?
