Middle-graders can be some of the most experimental, passionate and adventurous readers, and this month, we're putting on a show just for them, with the very best books for readers aged 8+ taking the centre stage.
Middle grade books are usually published for an age range between 8 and 12 – the tricky years where readers are outgrowing the themes and topics of their early childhood, but they also aren't teenagers just yet. While most children this age can read independently, they are exploring lots of other things too, discovering their hobbies and passions. Some children this age may lose reading stamina, preferring other types of media or activities for entertainment, while others turn into voracious readers.
Whether you've got an avid bookworm or reluctant reader on your hands, take a look at some of our favourite middle grade books this month. We've carefully selected and included a broad range of genres and titles, so that there's something for every reader.
And remember, while it is important to guide our middle-grade readers, it is also imperative we allow them to explore libraries and bookshops, and choose the books they most connect with independently.
