These books are aimed at upper elementary-aged children (ages 8+), but I think even teens could enjoy them. Please be aware that many do dive into some pretty rough topics, so make sure your kids are ready for them.
I will continue to update this list, so check back! Let me know in the comments below if you know a series I missed!
- Click the drop-down menu, top left, to view up to 100 of the books at a time.
- Sort by column title to sort the entire list by that column.
- You can also use the search box if you are looking for something specific.
- Negative dates are BCE years. I had to do it that way for it to sort properly.
- The column visibility button allows you to turn off columns that you are not interested in.
