Publisher's Synopsis
Your kids love Harry Potter and Twilight - but what else will keep young bookworms reading? Whether you're on the hunt for classic kids' books or best sellers, our "best books" lists are full of stories that are bound to spark kids' imagination and keep the pages turning. Parents often ask to suggest good books for their kids - ones that will engage, entertain, and maybe even enlighten them. So we've scoured our recommendation lists and consulted with teachers, librarians, and book critics to assemble what we consider essential titles for your home bookshelves. Our goal in creating this guide was to choose books that are proven to click with kids 9-12. Book genres listed in this guide: Adventure, Biography, Contemporary Fiction, Fantasy, Fiction, Historical Fiction, Holiday, Humor, Literary Fiction, Magic and fantasy, Mystery, Non-Fiction, School and Science Fiction. The guide also provides advice, reviews and comments to help parents.
