This is an excellent reading list. It says for "college bound" students, but really, it's an excellent list for everyone.
For an 8th-9th grader, I'd stay within the American Lit section. If a title and short description seems appealing, then go to Wikipedia or Google to find out more about it -- or you could pick a title randomly and just dive in!

Any one got any book recommendations for a 8th to 9th grader?

When i was in eigth grade i really started getting into an author named Agatha Christie. She writes murder mysteries. I would read either And Then There Were None (Ten Little Indians), Death in the Clouds, or Murder on the Orient Express.
