Last week, I posted on Facebook asking for book recommendations for my 7th grade boy. He’ll be 13 this winter. This is an excerpt of what I was looking for:
I ended up having people responding with all sorts of book ideas for days! I printed out their responses to save for myself and noticed other people were jotting down ideas so I thought I’d compile them here. So here you go.
Facebook hive responses to great books for a middle school reader who loves fantasy and mythology with additions of ones my son has read and loved. The graphics are clickable and there’s also a list for you guys below. It’s definitely a boy friendly list but there’s plenty in here that the girls would like too (if not all):
Land of Stories (series, book 1)

Paper Towns
The Hobbit (series, book 1)
Hunger Games (series, book 1)
