The next set I’m picking favorites for are chapter books. These would be just right for the age in between picture books and books for teens – roughly ages 9-14. Fair warning: I was OB-SESSED with horses when I fell into this age group, something that will become readily apparent when you peruse the list below… In alphabetical order, my top 25 favorite chapter books or series: The Anne of Green Gables series Bloomability The Boxcar Children series Catherine, Called Birdy Charlotte’s Web The Chronicles of Narnia Ella Enchanted Fantastic Mr. Fox From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler The Harry Potter series The Little Ballerina and Her Dancing Horse The Little House series A Little Princess The Littles Mandy Matilda Misty of Chincoteague Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH My Side of the Mountain Number the Stars The Oz series The Saddle Club series The Song of the Lionness series The Thoroughbred series The View from Saturday Oh my word, I must have read some of these books a hundred times… so many completely beloved books on here!! What are your favorites that fall into this group? Any favorites from the ones I listed? (For reference, here is NPR’s list of their top 100! They included To Kill a Mockingbird, but even though it’s my favorite book of all time I kept it off mine because I think it transcends age groups!) P.S. Top 25 favorite picture books
