I've been meaning to share this for a while, and a couple of requests made me hurry to finish up this short list of a few good middle-grade books for reluctant readers!

1. Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney
A HUGE hit!
2. The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
The beautiful artwork in this book seems to really capture kids' attention.
3. Fablehaven by Brandon Mull
A HUGE hit!

3. Fablehaven by Brandon Mull
A great fantasy series that has a lot of appeal to imaginative middle-grade readers.
4. Graphic novels
There's more and more good ones out there; Percy Jackson is one that has been very popular among my students. Which leads me to . . .
5. Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Rick Riordan has been very prolific lately, and other series by him are big hits too; I would recommend to start with Percy though.
6. Stories from Guys Write for Guys Read by Jon Scieszka & various authors
Part of a wonderful series edited by Jon Scieszka . . . so fuuny! Great to read out loud or to pass along to kids. They'll like some better than others.
7. Sports memoirs/biographies
I can't really recommend a specific one, but for the majority of my middle grade reluctant reader male crowd, short nonfiction texts about their favorite sports stars are absolutely necessary.
8. Wonder by R.J. Palacio
A perspective changing story.
9. Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen
Hilarious and heart warming.
Any suggestions for other middle-grade reluctant reader winners?
