    Here's a list of book favorites for 7th grade classrooms. You could click on the titles to see the page counts.

    Google: AR book finder

    There you find a tool where under advanced search you can search interest and book level...ar points will kind of show longer books (higher the points, higher the pages) but you can click on the book to see word and page counts too.

    You can filter fiction, non fiction and a bunch of other filters too. They do give pretty good descriptions and some warnings about content (teen fiction for ten year olds is always tricky...I have a ten year old sixth grader too). The classics are what I am pushing...he has read all of Sherlock Holmes, some Jules Verne, etc.

    Animal Farm by Orwell.

    My son read this in 5th grade for a similar reason. It is a very good book, short and enjoyable for this age. The downside was he had to re-read in in 7th grade as one of their literature novels.
