Books Below 5th Grade
The Magic Tree House Series - Mary Pope Osborne
The Magic Tree House is a series by Mary Pope Osborne that hit the bookshelves in the 1990s. Almost 30 years later, it is among the most popular children's chapter books today.
The series is about two siblings, Jack and Annie, who found a treehouse that actually sends them to specific places in history, even in times before humans ever existed!
Another 5th Grade Book:
Spy School Series - Stuart Gibbs
6th Grade Books
Scythe and The Arc of Scythe Series - Neal Shesterman
Scythe is a book by Neal Shsterman that takes place in a near perfect world where every aspect of human life is great, people live for centuries, and you even bring back the dead. Everything is run by a superintelligent A.I called the Thunderhead and a group of people called Scythes. Scythes are in charge of controlling the population by killing people so their resources will not run out. The main characters are two new Scythes Citra and Rowan who are training to become full Scythes. They must deal with problems like corruption in the Scythe’s order, and competition between each other. The rest of the series is honestly a little repetitive so I wouldn't recommend it but it’s your decision.
