Need New Books
Hi. I'm in...

Hi. I'm in seventh grade, but I only read at a tenth grade/ ninth grade honors level. I've read every book in my house and I'm desprately in need of some good books. Any suggestions?

And of course, I'll always recommend the classics, like Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, What Katy Did (recently Nina held a book club for it), and it's really a fantastic story.

I would like to recommend classics, just as BHR recommended. Most of them have very high reading levels. I recommend Pufifn Classics books because not only do they publish the story, they also have a behind the scenes guide at the end of the book with a character guide, author biographies, book sneak peeks, and more.

I would recommend The Book Thief and I Am The Messenger, both by Markus Zusak. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is lovely. Or The Count of Monte Cristo perhaps? Do you like Classics or more modern books?

I'm really sorry, but I don't have any good recommendations for you, but I'd also recommend John Green. The Book Thief is excellent, although it might make you cry.

Thanks you guys. I went to the school's library yesterday and pulled out every single one of these books, even the ones I have already read. I've made  through two of them and I am just starting The Book Thief.
