Our Favorite Middle Grade Books
Today, we are sharing our very favorite first novels for your middle-grade level reader. Miss 9 has read these to herself and then read them again…and again. We love that many are classics, the language is rich and they have helped expand her vocabulary immeasurably. Historical fiction has proven to be a favorite and we can’t wait to see what she falls in love with next! We hope you find something you like!
