 Librarians often get asked for Reading Lists...take your student to the library, and have them pick a bunch of books they think they'd like to try.  Their being interested in the book, can be more important that the actual book itself. 

 Also more important is what you do after they've read it!  Make sure you talk to them about it.  

If their answer to 'what was the book about' is "I don't know"  try asking who would you like to be friends with in the story?  Did you think it had a good ending?  If you were rewriting it, how would you change it?
