One of the best things about being surrounded by mom bosses is that I have great “product testers” for books and products. Debra at LitJoy Crate helps choose the middle grade books (books for ages 8-13 yeard old) and she has a middle grader so it was natural to do an unboxing with her daughter, Sofie! They talk about some of the favorite middle-grade books while they unbox the All Systems Go! Middle Grade Crate, which they still have in their shop.
Some of the book suggestions they give for kids in 3rd to 7th grade are:
- Elementals: Ice Wolves by Amie Kaufman (we still have an awesome crate that includes this book!)
- The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris
- Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
- Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson
- The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1) by Rick Riordan
- Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George
- The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
- Diary of a Whimpy Kids by Jeff Kinney
- Fablehaven by Brandon Mull
- Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede
You can watch their video below to get book suggestions as a well as some sneak peeks for our next Middle Grade Crate (which is personally my favorite).
What are some of your favorite middle grade books? I’d love to know your favorite authors as I continue to bring you middle grade recommendations every year.
Also, if you missed our post last month, we have more middle grade book suggestions in our post LitJoy Love: The Best Fantasy Books for Middle Graders.
