Middle school book recommendations are important so that teachers can find excellent books to share with their students. Teachers are always on the lookout for the next great book to add to their classrooms.
In this blog post, I have linked amazing middle school book recommendations that you can share with your students, their families, and your school librarian. Remember to bookmark this blog post, as I will continually update it with new book lists once those blog posts are published on this website.
I am always looking for engaging books to add to my classroom library. The best part of my day is when a student tells me they loved a book from my classroom library or when other students recommend a book they loved to a classmate. If you want to find out how to purchase affordable books for your classroom library read this blog post.
I have sorted the book lists by grade level, genre, and theme so you can find exactly what you and your students need. If you want book lists sent directly to your email you can click here.
Do you have any books you want to add to these lists?
Reach out on Instagram and send me a message (@2peasandadog) – I’d love to help teachers find more great books for their students.
