Thank you Christine :)

Be sure to check the Author's Corner and "Books mentioned in this topic". There are many authors in this group who can't promote their books, and rightfully so. You can look at your responder's publications and might find just what you are looking for.

Heidi, i have read Marks book Shaky Man which is also a good one.

There are so many great books for that age!

In addition to the ones listed above, I'll add anything by Tamora Pierce, Wonder, and Brian Jacques' Redwall series (which is in the children's room at our library, but requires a pretty good reader to make it through).

Into the Wild
The Glass Castle
Hatchet
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
The Phantom Tollbooth
A Pair of Docks
The Tail of Emily Windsnap
The Westing Game
Island of the Blue Dolphins
Where the Red Fern Grows
Bridge to Terabithia
The Cricket in Times Square
Shiloh
The Sign of the Beaver
Meet Kaya
Poppy
Turn Homeward, Hannalee
Elora of Stone
A Family Apart
A Pickpocket's Tale
Number the Stars

Thats basically all! I loved all of these books. They're all on my favorites shelf.

Gentle reminder to authors that this is not the place to tout your own books.

I'm really enjoying Robin Steven's Wells and Wong detective series which starts with Murder Most Unladylike. Has anyone in the group read these?

[Scott]

The Indian in the Cupboard
Follow My Leader
James and the Giant Peach

Just a few of my favorites.

Without links I'm too lazy to look this up, but it doesn't sounds like middle-school fiction?

Although there is a murder in each of the books, they really are middle-grade and start off in a girls boarding school possibly set in the 40s? They're like Malory Towers meets Agatha Christie: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Murder-Most-...

[Rebecca]

Thanks, Gabrielle! Those sound good!

If you like the darker side of middle grade, try Ravens Gate by Anthony Horowitz. It's got creepy overtones, for sure, but man, if you like that, its fantastic.

Can't directly reply but, Justin, I have that on my reading wishlist. I can't wait to read it!

[Justin]

Its a fantastic book. :)

[Jemima]

I'm fairly sure Raven's Gate is in our library. Or was when I got South by South East out. I must check when they're next here. (We have a mobile library that comes round the villages once a month).
