Books for kids looking for something to read.

This is a list of books for kids who need something to read! It ranges from 6-12 and included in here are all sorts of genres! Recommendations welcome. 😊( When there are series included on here, only the first book is added, this is the same for all my lists).

This is brilliant! I would recommend The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart & Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend, if they meet your requirements.

Thanks! I got the idea from Middle Grade/ya, and thought it would be good to make one just for kids to be easier to find🙂. I'll see if the books fit!

Such a good idea! And placement. I read “kids” books. My son hasn’t started chapter books yet, but I keep the ones I think he’ll enjoy in the future. It’s a win win. Good book and I’ve already vetted it. lol

I'm glad.😊 I hope he likes the books you're saving and becomes a reader someday! 😃

Adding ‘City Under the City’ by Dan Yaccarino. My son is obsessed with it.

Ooh fun!! I recommend adding the Boxcar Children, that was one of my favorites as a kid. (I may or may not still own physical copies of the series...)
