Totally agree about Narnia!Bigwig1973 wrote: ↑30 May 2021, 17:40 It's been a long time since I read children's books! I would agree that the Narnia and Little House on the Prairie would be good. I read a lot of James Herriot books in Middle School. I think Judy Blume wrote a lot of books intended for children that age. S.E. Hinton. I think I only read a few of them - Rumble Fish and The Outsiders. Encyclopedia Brown books, maybe? A Series of Unfortunate Events. I would recommend Harry Potter, but I actually haven't read those! A nice collection of short stories would be nice as would a book of poetry. Robert Frost, of course, comes to mind. Selected stories by Poe. I don't know of any of the top of my head though! Aesop's Fables and some Kipling. Maybe a little Jack London? Call of the Wild and White Fang. Robinson Crusoe"Bartleby the Scrivener" by Melville is a good short story, "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Coleridge, "The Grand Inquisitor" is a part of Dostoevsky's The Brother's Karamazov and has a religious theme. The Red Pony and Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird. The Pearl. My Antonia by Cather. Books providing an introduction to different things in life: mathematics, physics, computer, inventors, politicians, philosophers, explorers, sports, cars, etc. One book I really enjoyed was From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Black Beauty. An age appropriate cookbook? Good luck!
It's so deep and beautifully written, and the character relationships (non-romantic) also are very nice!
It's about children who go to a magical world.
There is some fighting, but I know girls can love it as well. Among the protagonists, there's about an equal number of both of the genders.
