Middle School Books?

Good books for the age 11-14?

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books. - My 13 year old LOVES these and now knows more Greek Mythology than I ever will.
Terry Pratchett's Only you can save mankind
Gary Paulson's The Rifle
The Wimpy Kid series by Jeff kinney
Eggs and Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
The My side of the Mountain trilogy
Northern Lights/ The Golden Compass
Holes by Louis Sachar
The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer
Where The Red Fern Grows
The Bridge to Terabithia

Stargirl! its shows that trying to be yourself instead of someone else will make you more confident and happier in life! It expresses the wild thing that is hidden inside us and lets it out in this sublime novel.

Any of Terry Pratchetts books really.

Two of the best books for this age group are THE CRYSTAL NAVIGATOR and MONA LISA'S GHOST. The heroine is a young girl named Lucy who travels back in time with a "Wise One" in the form of a Corgi. Both books educate about art and artists while they entertain with great adventure stories. A number of schools added THE CRYSTAL NAVIGATOR to summer reading lists.

Maniac Magee
