Great books for pre-teens?
Mimi in the Middle, Mimi's Summer (or something like that) - Altein
Other Altein books are OK too, some might be for young or older teens
We Want Life! - one of the early shemiras halashon books
The 23 Under One Roof series
Series like BY Times, Kid Sisters, Bakers' Dozen
Miriam Elias's books |
My 9 year old has read all those pre-teen books already, (besides shemiras haloshon one) is that advanced, or just not so many younger kids books?
She did all the above series, plus all the Sukey Gross books, regards from camp series, carpool clan series, plus tons of random ones. She only likes books with girls in them, and nothing intensely scary /sad. Any advice??
I stopped her from reading Eva Vogiel books -felt she was too young for it. She’s also read Jewish girls around the World Series -amazing series.

You can check following Jewish publishing websites for current books and Inventory, Artscroll, Judaica Press, Feldheim, Israel Book Shop, and Menucha publishing Company.
Menucha actually is starting to put grade levels on back of their books using the Fountas and Pinnell grading level. So that will be helpful to look into. if you want to organize books according to grade level
Hachai also has some paper backs in their "Fun to Read Series" they say on their backs that they are for 2nd to 4th grade.
Hope this was helpful.

There's a lot of overlap with teens and adults. And I'd probably let teens read adult books.
Here are more "older" books.
Go My Son - Shapiro. (That and The Scent of Snowflowers were major best sellers of the genre.)
Lidingo
These Children are Mine
I'm feeling pressured for time. I'm trying to come up not just with good books but books I really, really liked, or for the younger kids, that they really liked.
Oh, more tween/teen books
Serina
The Youngest Bride
Conquer the Darkness
A Daughter of Two Mothers
Between the Walls
Bracha Rosman
I know I'm going to keep updating this, just too much to do. Hopefully I'm serving to bump this or get others to think.
ETA: Looking over other lists. SO MANY GOOD BOOKS!!! And Leah Gebber's writing is unbelievable. If Map the Starlight comes out in book form, grab it!

It's put together with Ten Lost (I think that is what it is called. That is not a recent reprint...it's been a long while since he came out with that and combined the 2 as they go together.)
