Read Aloud Bedtime Stories 8 - 14 yrs

I'm becoming a bit of an expert on curating chapter books to read aloud at bedtime for an INCREDIBLY critical audience (the bedtime story DNF rate at our house is WILD). Collecting them here to share with other parents and guardians. Suggestions welcome and encouraged (please - they are ravenous for the stories)
