The books below have a lot of overlap with the 5th-6th grade book list, but we have also included some more mature titles. We feel that every book on this list is worth reading; indeed many 4th and 5th graders would enjoy them. However, they tend to contain some messy elements and/or topics that will promote a bit more discussion. You certainly do not need to read all the books on this list. But by now your child probably gravitates to one or more genres (and avoids one or more). Encourage them to read broadly!
Alpha by author; most are in juvenile fiction section of local library. Literaritea reviewed titles are linked.
QUITE
similar to Middle Grades list; this list includes some titles that more
mature middle schoolers might find too juvenile; similarly, the Middle
Grades list includes some titles that are on the more mature end of
"middle school." List is broken down into genres because many kids by
this point have particular genre interests and/or you may need a
particular category to round out your school list!
