items as a professional ex-young child and a massive lit nerd: here are some books that I loved as a kid that your kids will as well- even if they have an annoyingly high reading level. not to say that these books are insanely wordy, but the concepts in th...

This book is kind of dark and mature, yes, but I feel like it's not overtly depressing. I really enjoyed the writing and characters, and today's day and age books about… well, the importance of books/knowledge are more useful than ever.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
I have read this book sixteen million times- at least once a year since I was 11. It's so so good for those who liked Percy Jackson when they were like 8 and now want more of Uncle Rick's writing style but a more mature narrative voice.
Percy Jackson's Greek Gods by Rick Riordan
should be required reading in every school. make your kid read it once at the age of 12, then again after they've taken a government class. they'll lock in so hard I'm telling u
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
this book was high-key funny- Shakespeare had a good sense of humor and the jokes hit like 2% better if your vocab is fit for his writing, but this version of the book has a translation of the stuff he says so the jokes hit regardless!! 10/10 would r...
A Midsummer Night's Dream No Fear Shakespeare
very fire book series good for your angsty teenagers that want to read Abt angsty things (book 2 was my fav, tho book 4 is a close second!!)
The Heroes of Olympus
elementary school
wings of fire books are advanced in the sense that omg dragons are fighting- which would entertain your average fourth grader, but they're appropriate enough that plot beats aren't going to keep your kid up at night lol
Wings of Fire
these books still hold up pretty well despite being writing a while ago! funny, cool, cute, entertaining, will always hold a piece of my heart.
The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson, Book 1)
sad. made me cry as a little baby 10yo. that being said, I remember every page of this book and it left a weirdly profound imprint on me despite never picking it up again. crazy ikr
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
I have no idea why I enjoyed these books as much as I did. they're kinda like diary of a wimpy kid but I liked them a lot better!!
Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja: Emerson & Friends
this is the only self help book that a child would willingly read without tearing their hair out and swearing off of whatever miscellaneous object is mentioned in the title. if ur kid likes feeling productive get them this
