1

A teacher contacted me with the request for suggestions for out-of-the ordinary mysteries for her middle school students.  Anyone have ideas?

2

How about these:

Killing Mr. Griffin, Lois Duncan

Uglies, Scott Westerfield

Deathwatch, Robb White

Dinosaur Summer, Greg Bear (boys will love this)

3

The Case of the Prank that Stankby Laura Burns and Melinda Mertz

Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrams

American Girls (I believe they are released by Pleasant Company) mysteries which have historical girls for characters

The following is a great link to lists of Edgar winners and winners for Best Juvenile Mystery:

Any Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew are good too

4

Any of the Shadow Children series and The Westing Game is fun, too.

The Westing Game is one that I remembe reading, and loving, when I was in Middle School.
