A brilliant reading list for wide-reading children

[Riponite]

I was looking at schools in the area we're moving to, when I came on this recommended reading list for children around end of primary age, and I thought it was such a good and comprehensive list I thought I'd share it.

Some of the books will be very American, I'm sure, and maybe some you can't get here, but there are certainly some I remember.

link doesn't work for me.

me neither

or me!

I managed to find their high school list.

Grades 9-12 are from 14-17 yo. Some of the titles are very suitable for an able 11 year old, but in others I'd want to check it was suitable for the child I was giving it to.

Hello I'd highly recommend the Magic Treehouse series for this level - age appropriate and info packed. My boy is also thoroughly enjoying the Jack Stalwart series, loved Iorn Man, and Greek Myths should not be missed.

Depends on the child as so often. I'd rather recommend Jane Austen than Ivanhoe for a mature 11yo girl. One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch is, I would say, rather less fun than the Three Musketeers. Lots of classics I'd put on the list before Sir Walter and Defoe - Jules Vernes and Dumas both more entertaining, not to mention Stevenson.
