Lucky you! Here's a list of suggestions that I believe are good choices for 9-12.
Card, Orson Scott. Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead (sequel).
Cooney, Caroline B. Enter Three Witches: a Tale of Macbeth.
Ferris, Jean. Underground.
Garland, Sherry. Shadow of the Dragon.
Gilbert, Barbara. Broken Chords.
Jordan, Sherryl. The Hunting of the Last Dragon.
Kent, Deborah. Why Me? series.
Marillier, Juliet. Wildwood Dancing.
McKinley, Robin. Dragonhaven.
Osa, Nancy. Cuba 15.
Paolini, Christopher. Eragon and Eldest; and Brisingr (sequels).
Pope, Elizabeth. The Perilous Gard
Shinn, Sharon. General Winston’s Daughter.
Uchida, Yoshiko. Picture Bride.
Wood, June Rae. The Man Who Loved Clowns.
From birth through the third grade, you learn to read.From fourth grade through the
rest of your life, you read to learn.
“Books should go where they will be most appreciated, and not sit unread, gathering
dust on a forgotten shelf. . .”—Christopher Paolini, Brisingr
