Middle School Reading List

This book list is based on commonly recommended books for middle school students, heavily influenced by the reading we have done with our own children. If you are not familiar with something on this list, please review the book first - only you know the maturity level of your child. If you have a reluctant reader, focus on short, classic books. For kinesthetic learners, try books with active main characters. For voracious readers, feed them with quality literature instead of junk. For moody children, avoid dark characters or themes and locate uplifting books with heroes and over-comers.
