  If you are including MG books, Suzanne Collins' "Gregor the Overlander" series is fun!

  So if you are looking for some older stuff, I used to LOVE all of Lois Duncan's books. And then how about some classics, like the Mary Poppins series?

  I didn't read all of the responses so sorry if these are duplicates.

  Legend, Prodigy and Champion by Marie Lu  (I've only read Legend so far, but it's a trilogy so I have to recommend the set).

  I work in an elementary school library and will get a list of mg and children's book for you. I'm actually going through this process right now too. For a public school it's rare to have a book budget, but super excited to get the kids new books!

  
  

  When you say children's book do you mean picture books? Or are you looking for chapter books?

  
  

  For starters ( what's popular at my site):

  Wimpy kid series

  Dork diaries

  Judy moody

  Junie b. Jones

  Babymouse

  Lunch lady

  Weird school & weird school daze

  Cam jensan series

  Ivy & bean

  How to train your dragon series

  Dripping fang series

  Spiderwick

  Gregor the overlander

  Rainbow magic

  Magic tree house

  Capt underpants

  Moon over manifest

  A crooked kind of perfect

  The one and only ivan

  39 clues

  Aminal spirit (new series first book by brandon mull, maggie s wrote bk 2)

  Boxcar children

  Babysitters club

  Goosebumps & rotten school

  Geromino stilton

  Zombie chasers series

  Charlie bone series

  Ranger's apprentice

  Any or all rick riordan series

  Bad kitty series

  Riley Bloom series (spin off Alyson Noel's Immortal series)

  Any and all by Blume, Clements, Clearly

  
  

  That was just off the top of my head. 

  
  

  eta: how could I forget Megan McCafferty's Jessica's It List. Spin off of her JD series but for mg.

  What about The Giver by Lois Lowry?  I haven't read it so I don't know if it's appropriate.

  I was about to suggest this very book. Actually there are a couple others in that series. 

  
  

  The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, and That was then, this is now, all by SE Hinton

  
  

  IDK what your age ranges are, but what about the Wimpy Kid series, and the Dork Diaries? Little younger crowd, for those. 

  
  

  Have fun shopping!!!
