In reply to Elaine Bartz. Thank you for your kind words. I'm delighted to know the list has a seal of approval from a librarian.

As a librarian for grades 1-6 I think your suggested reading lists get 5 stars out of 5! So many of the titles are very popular in our school library and I love that you are recommending them to others. Well done! Thank you too for citing some new titles for us to try.

This is a great list! I think middle-grade and early reader books are great ways for older kids to get into reading too. I recently posted my own summer reading list for people who want to start reading again and don't know where to start... there are a few elementary/middle-school level books on there that I know my niece and nephews love. Check them out if you like 🙂

I'm looking forward to trying out so many of the titles on this list with my kids, especially The Mysterious Benedict Society and Handbook for Dragon Slayers! It may be a long shot if your son doesn't like history, but has he tried Little Britches? Like the Little House books, it's autobiographical. Ralph Moody, the author/main character is 8 years old when his family moves to Colorado in 1906 to try cattle ranching. Ralph has many adventures, including working with cowboys and surviving a tornado. Much of the book is very funny, but there are also sad moments.

LOVE this list! It has many favorites of ours like Rickshaw Girls, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (me not the kids), Bud Not Buddy, and Mysterious Benedict Society! Thanks so much for including on the Kid Lit Blog Hop!

I have been trying to get my daughter to read The Mysterious Benedict Society for a couple of years now. It must start out very slowly because she just couldn't get into it. She's currently ripping through the Harry Potter books now. She's read many of the ones on your great list. thanks so much for sharing your recommendations in the Kid Lit Blog Hop.

The time does fly, doesn't it. Little J is just finishing 4th grade and I can't believe next year will end his elementary years. I really like your book list. One thing I noticed during his Battle of the Books challenge, was that the list really did encourage him and his friends to choose books they typically wouldn't read, but in the end, they really enjoyed them.

Another great list, Erica! I read (and loved) "Mrs. Frisby" in 4th grade too!
