Book that would be easy to read in Spanish

[Sarah]

I am looking for a book or book series that would be fairly easy to read in Spanish. My fluency is probably about Jr High level. I read the Harry Potter series is Spanish recently, and it was just right for me. I’m open to any fiction genre, but my favorite is Fantasy. Thanks!

I'm not sure where you are, but locally, our bookstores have a foreign language section with all kinds of books. Years ago, when I was still in college, I found a Dr. Seuss book in both Spanish and English.

Aside from that, I know Amazon has a lot of children's books in many languages. Might be another good place to start.

I know, not very specific, but going and actually looking might help. :)

Thanks! That would be a good place to start. I’m cheap, so I’m hoping to find the books at the library once I know the title.

You should be able to find The Alchemist and The Little Prince in Spanish.

For some oldies:

Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Charlie y la fábrica de chocolate
Matilda - Matilda
The Witches - Las Brujas

E.B. White

Stuart Little - Stuart Little
Charlotte's Web - La telaraña de Carlota
The Trumpet of the Swan - La trompeta del cisne

I also found more modern series:

Red Queen - La Reina Roja
I recently read this (book #1 of a four part series) and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Twilight - Crepúsculo
Also a four part series, I didn't enjoy it but YMMV.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before - A todos los chicos de los que me enamoré
A three part series, very cute, I enjoyed it.

The Amulet of Samarkand - El amuleto de Samarkanda
One of my favorite series of all time, four books, also about a magician but not about a school like Harry Potter and not the same kind of magician

For nice stories originally in Spanish:
La edad de oro - The Golden Years - short stories and poems by a famous Cuban writer

Thanks, Karen! That is a really helpful list.
