I started the Harry Potter series when I was in grade 1 though

So did I
Most people didn't though

How'd you get into it? I was bored at a friend of my parent's house and I saw the book and started reading it. They gave it to me when we left and I didn't stop reading :P

My sister tried to read them aloud to me
I usually read ahead teehee

have  you read 20,000 miles under the sea? by jules verne? it is my favourite book...

I started it a while back and forgot about it. If I get around to finishing, I'll put it up 

Isn't it 20,00 leauges under the sea.

I saw the movie, and read the dumbed-down version in my library.


Should you add classics, like The Adventures of Tom Sauyer?

That was a very confusing book to read, with the southern slang, and the thick southern person accent. He also calles black people the "N word", but that's what they called them at the time of the book.

Yeah it is 20,000 Leagues
Anyway
I read Tom Sawyer in third grade (sort of against the overstrict rules of my parents), so I can't really remember what grade level it was good for 
Maybe 4?
A majority of the younger grades books I've read and reread so many times, but I only read Tom Sawyer once, so I can't remember...

Um...ever heard of jacquline Wilson ??? Like she is my cave author and I did not see any of her books up there! Jut something you might want to consider. She has her own mag and her illustrater is nick sharrett. Lots of her books at for girls but there is one or two for. Boys!

Looking at her site
This isn't the kind of book I like
But thanks for the recommendation~

That's ok but one thing her two books that boys like would be buried alive and cliffhanger. A boy in my class also read dusbin baby and said it was amazing, you won't be able to read the book but look up on YouTube dustbin baby part 1 she also has a few other movies. Lots of her books are for girls but plz don't look at kiss by her it's 12+ and boys don't read it. Thanks anyways bye! 

Needs more Roald Dahl.

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory!

(And why is Red Pyramid on there?)

I actually found Red Pyramid okay for a quick fun read at Barnes
It's not like, a favorite book, but as I liked it well enough I put it on the list

I forgot Charlie and the Chocolate Factory???? What's wrong with me?????

You spend long enough at Barnes And Nobles to read entire books?

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE CHOICES IT TAKES AN HOUR TO DECIDE FROM

Yes ;__;

What?

SO MANY BOOKS

MUST DECIDE WHICH FIRST

Frog And Toad orwhateveritwas

The entire Hitchhiker's Trilogy (not including Colfer's entry, I haven't read it)

I remember reading House Of The Scorpion in fourth grade and that was an interesting experience.

Sarah, Plain and Tall is good and I would say 3rd grade level

Because of Winn-Dixie was decent - 2nd Grade

And I really think Ender's Game belongs on there but you didn't like it.

Try 7th.

It's a very, erm, Historically correct book, so it might bit a little inappropiate for 4th graders.

but that's like censoring history
like
Humanity
we're apparently defined by our history you know! apparently history is a main part of life! (according to every history teacher I've had. I've never gotten over a B in history    )
but then again the uh 'adult themes' in Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight are parts of life too but those are pretty uh
no okay nevermind you're right you win
some aspects of life should be censored

but in regards to tom sawyer...
most kids know by grade 4 that slavery happened, bad names were called, and that slavery is bad
don't do it kids
granted when i was in grade 4 i didn't know what those bad names were!
 
but when I was in grade 5 i was reading books about the Underground Railroad
as part of the curriculum
so I'd say Tom Sawyer could definitely go under grade 5 :>

I love how you put Brave New World as a 7th - 8th grade book.

You know, I probably should have a high school section

Wickimen is female.

And eww, she's one of those authors that doesn't write artistically but writes about creepy girls obsessing over guys.

And she's so big over here
She doesn't do romance but she does those 'problem child' books
All the English teachers and the School Librarian hate her though so yeah :]
Also your list needs more Diana Wynne Jones
Only having one is a disrespect to literature itself
The Game and Fire and Hemlock are my two favlurites of her
But really I could be like funelephant and Nicki Minaj with her
If she had gifs

o
Now I need to know what the other one is
Oh right 'House of Many Ways'
Her other big one
I was thinking it'd be Enchanted Glass for some reason
Or the picture book about a witch
