The Never Girls Collection
by Kiki Thorpe (and various authors)
I stumbled upon these at the beginning of the year. I had quite a few girls who didn't like to read between the third and fourth grade level. It only took one girl to get hooked before these became the most sought after books in my classroom library. The series follows four girls who find themselves in Neverland. Complete with fairies, fun, and friendship, The Never Girls series is a hit. (also has an interactive website)
Spy School
by Stuart Gibbs
I read the back and I was hooked. I knew it was the perfect book for one student in particular. His name also happened to be Ben like the main character. My fifth graders love books about middle school, so they absolutely loved a book that had a middle schooler in SPY school! A number of student requested that I buy other books by this author because they loved it so much. With the EVIL Spy School sequel, these are perfect for your classroom.
I Survived Series
by Lauren Tarshis (and various authors)
These books are so popular they never make it back to the shelf! They go from student to student with a never ending wait list. My students love historical fiction this year. Whether it's about Titanic or WWII, these books will be find themselves in the hands of eager readers within seconds.
Ever After High Series
by Shannon Hale
Along with The Never Girls, these were a hit with my girls. The children of the fairy tales all attend high school together...royals and rebels. The size of the books intimidated some of them, but they were so enthralled with the story that they finished it before they realized it. With my own obsession with princesses and fairy tales, I have added these to my own reading list! (interactive website)
