Best books to read 2017 for middle school series#
Cheerful, dreamy Anne grows up throughout the series, so do not make the mistake of handing your daughter the whole series at once! The first three books are appropriate for middle schoolers save the rest for high school.ĭiscussion: What virtues come easily to Anne? What are her flaws? How does she strive to improve herself? Does God have an important part in Anne’s life? What is most important to Anne: God, friends, home, beauty?
These books are often introduced to children too early I highly recommend waiting until at least age 12 for the first book. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables books are beautifully written, inspiring books for girls and young women, featuring the struggles, triumphs, growing pains, and dreams of Anne. But you will find books by many other fun, age appropriate authors such as Meriol Trevor, L. I strongly believe in not overwhelming children in this age range by exposing them too early to classic literature that was intended for adults, so you will not find Charles Dickens or Jane Austen on this list. Tween to teen is a tricky age to pick books for, since they are looking for something challenging, but are not ready for mature content yet.
