Middle/High School 6-12
Suggested Novels

This list is just a fraction of what you will find when you start searching. Keep in mind that every child reads at a different pace and level. These are merely meant to be suggestions. My kids have read a lot of these and loved them. I added links to the books on Amazon for convenience.  A website address under a title means that you can find free printables or activities to go along with the text.
