I highly recommend the Newbery Award books (both the winner and the honor books). A complete list of these books back to 1922 is available at the following web site: http://www.ala.org/alsc/newbpast.html
The Rebecca Caudill Award book list can be found at the following site: http://www.library.sos.state.il.us/isl/reading/win_caud.html
