You have a vast list here. My daughter is in middle school, I am thankful she loves to read.
That’s great! I hope my kids love to read when they are in middle school.
Call of the Wild is one of my favorite books ever! My daughter loves the Bridge to Teribithia. She’s starting 8th grade this year and I’m sure some of these will end up on her reading list. Thanks for the great list!
No problem! I hope she enjoys them. I loved Bridge to Terabithia at about that age too.
