The classic novels presented here are perfect for early- to late-middle grade readers. Written by women authors from previous generations, they spark curiosity and take readers on grand adventures. They also impart wisdom that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Books provide guidance, exploration, and companionship, and this is especially true for young readers at that in-between time of middle grade. Especially when straddling childhood and the teen years, a  good novel can expand knowledge of the world.

And when the world feels overwhelming, a great story is a comforting and wise companion. Did you miss reading any of these novels while growing up? It’s never too late. You’re likely to find them at your local library.
