If you teach that age group why don't you do some market research? Run a top 5 by them.
I have. Nothing has really jumped out with them either. I still like "O.K. is Great" but we're looking around for something else too. It's a long way from getting published, so I'm just looking for that lightning bolt of a title, I guess.
Maybe I'll run another survey with a different group since I have some good ideas with this thread. I'll stick "O.K. is Great" in there too.

Here's my literary agent's suggestion, but it has nothing to do with running. O. K. and the Star Wars Lunch Box. Is that any good?

I find your agent's lack of creativity disturbing.
Maybe Showdown which ties into the OK Corral mythos. Or to put a modern spin on it - Throwdown. Throwdown at Boykinville.
