Children/Middle Grade Book Suggestions

Post by **Heidi M Simone** » 12 Sep 2018, 09:14

Do you have any suggestions for books to read this month that would fall under children/middle grade?

There are definitely many options out there, from classics to newly-released reads. Here are some that came to my mind:

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Matilda by Roald Dahl
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

Goodreads is also a good resource in choosing what to read. These links might be helpful:

If it were October, I would suggest Small Spaces by Katherine Arden! (It would also be what I would be reading!)

Sadly, it does not come out until the last week of this month.
(Yes, I know this is odd, but I am absolutely positive that I will love it just as much as her Winternight Trilogy.)

As it is not October, I would suggest...
The Fablehaven series (or the new continued Fablehaven series)
Harry Potter (at least the early ones)
Or just a reread of Alice.

I have read "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White and "Matilda" by Roald Dahl and loved them both.

I also loved the Fablehaven series and Harry Potter!

If we do spooky/Halloween-type books next month, you could read Small Spaces by Katherine Arden.

Ah, I've been wanting to read the Fablehaven series. Good suggestion! Harry Potter is pretty awesome

I love Harry Potter. I have yet to read the Fablehaven series, but it's on my list!

I actually started reading The Bigfoot Paradox by Rebecca Coyte, which was a recent Book of the Day. gali, I think you've read this one. It's off to a nice start!

I love the premise of this book. I think it would be a great one to start with.

It's definitely a fun and unique premise. I'm about halfway and it's still a nice one to read.
