Are you looking for your new books for your 6th grade boy (or girl)? These are great books for 10-12 year olds.

Here are a couple of suggestions of book series for 6th graders to try. They also work great for 4th, 5th and 7th graders too depending upon their reading level and interest.

INTERESTING BOOKS for 6th Graders

I’ve included links on Amazon below but I also recommend checking them out at your local library or checking them out via the Kindle Unlimited program if you are a subscriber.

This book list includes some real life inspiration in the I Survived , Basher Science and Thrifty Guide to Travel Books.

Book Series for 6th Graders

These fiction book ideas for kids are great kids entering middle school or the sixth grade.

Awesome Book Series for 10 - 12 Year Old Boys

These book series are some of my son's favorite books for tweens. Don't miss our book list for 7-9 year olds, he still enjoys some of the book series too.

Basher Science: Core Science Library

Basher books are fun and informative books that are easy to read and understand. We have been collecting the science ones which include Astronomy, Biology, Extreme Biology, Chemistry, Physics, The Periodic Table and more! Basher books also cover math, social studies, grammar and more!

Dog Man: The Supa Epic Collection

Dog Man is a superhero that is part dog and part man. 🙂 It's a fun series by the same author that writes Captain Underpants which we recommended in our book series list for 7-9 year old boys.

The Thrifty Guide to Medieval Times: A Handbook for Time Travelers (The Thrifty Guides)

The Thrifty Guides series is a fun way for kids to learn about various time periods of history in a unique way. It's written as a travel guide for time travelers visiting various eras. It's a little ridiculous but that just helps holds everyone's attention. The series includes Medieval Times, American Revolution, Ancient Rome, and Ancient Greece.

Roald Dahl Collection 16 Books Box Set

So this isn't technically a book series but Roald Dahl wrote quite a few amazing books. Quinn hasn't read them all yet but his current favorites are James and the Giant Peach and The BFG.

Don't miss our BFG Costume, it's super cute and fairly easily to pull together. A great storybook dress up day idea for school.

I Survived: Ten Thrilling Stories 

I Survived Books are fictional adventures set during real disaster in history. It's a great way to introduce historical topics with kids who may be reluctant readers.

Artemis Fowl 3-book Paperback Boxed Set 

Artemis Fowl is a criminal mastermind at 12 years old. His adventures with real fairies, trolls, dwarfs, etc explore the high tech world underground proves these creatures aren't anything like we are told in bedtime stories. Don't miss our DIY Mulch Diggums shit.

If you have any book series to suggest for 4th, 5th or 6th graders, just leave a comment. We are always looking for new ideas for our young reader.
