Hi! Today we'll be checking out five of the best books to read (for tweens) in 2023!
Let's dive in!
1) Harry Potter (parts 1-4) by J.K Rowling (Recommended age: 9 - 12)
This is an all-time favourite of kids and adults worldwide. It's amazing, has a positive way of looking at things looks at values like bravery, and friendship and is just a great read.
Besides... who wouldn't want to read about the adventures of a special orphan wizard?
For tweens, I would only recommend books 1 to 4 because, from year 5, there are a lot more adult themes in the novels so you, better wait till you're 13 to read those books.
2) How I taught my grandmother to read by Sudha Murty (Recommended age: 9 - 12)
This is a charming book with various anecdotes from the author's life. It has themes like hard work and determination at its core.
So, if you just can't be inspired, this is a good place to realise what can be done. Read about Avva who learnt to read with determination or maybe the story of Hassan's attendance will be more nostalgic!
So, go and check it out, if you are ready for a whirlwind of moral lessons!
3) A wrinkle in time by Madeleine L'Engle (Recommended age: 8 - 12)
It's an awesome book with a great movie made based on it (if you have time, go check it out on Disney+). It mainly focuses on family, love and (for the sci-fi fans out there) space travel and alternate universes.
It's a nice book; even eight-year-olds can read it because it has ethics and love at its core. I wouldn't say the entire 'Time Quintet' was made for me, but this is awesome.
4) No Boys Allowed! by Marilyn Levinson (Recommended age: 10 - 12)
One word. BRILLIANT! In this awesome book, we meet Cassie who struggles with her emotions after her parents get divorced (the reason for the age recommendation).
We get a first-person point of view into her life and the amazing roller coaster ride her life turns out to be. It's a fabulous book so go and check it out!
5) Judy Moody (Recommended age: 10 - 12)
Bad moods and good moods and special Judy moods! Judy Moody has them all! Meet Judy and her not-so-perfect family and 'pest' friends in this rocking book by Megan Mcdonald.
Riding on with Judy will certainly give you some mood! So go check it out.
There! Our list is officially over.
Anyways, which book(s) do you guys want me to review next? Don't forget to mention them! Also, do put up for debate some books and their age recommendations!
Signing off!
I would debate about the age of harry potter I have liked the series since I was 5 and now that I have seen parts 1-3 I can't wait to see part 4 I love it even though I'm not nine
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for the comment! I'll make sure one of the posts will debate the age group of Harry Potter by JK Rowling.
ReplyDeletethank you for understanding
DeleteYou can also include Nancy drew series and Good night stories by Rebel girls. Both are worth reading...Aayra
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for the comment! You can be sure when the next top 15 list comes out, Nancy will certainly find her way into it (Good night stories too). I've read them and they are one of my favourites! So tune in next time to see which post will be there!
DeleteNice recommendations👏😍. Would love to see more from you.💕
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for your support!
DeleteLove Judy Moody! Great book. I question JK Rowling- like her books- hate her opinions. So many others, hope you'll post more!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on JK Rowling, she does have some not-so-good opinions, but as a reader, an author's background seldom intervenes with my liking (or disliking!) of the books. Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it! Stay tuned for more posts!
DeleteThanks for the information, Shreya. Judy Moody sounds interesting to my daughter Tanishi.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you to also read and rate Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians series by Brandon Sanderson. It's one of a kind fantasy fiction and suitable for your age.
Hi! Thanks for the comment and the book options! I'll surely include Alcatraz versus the Evil librarians in one of my future posts!
DeleteThanks for the information... my daughter is currently reading "How I tought my grand mother to read" by Sudha Murthy and we are loving it..
ReplyDeleteWould love to love to hear more from you.. all the best..
Hello! Sudha Murty is an inspirational writer and I LOVE her books. Some of the other books your daughter could try are Gopi Diaries and the Magic Drum. I'll post some more shortly! Thanks for the comment! Stay tuned for more posts on this blog!
