Some of the most common questions we get deal with the following:
- Can you tell me which books are good for my 5th grader?
- Do you have the sunshine state readers list?
- I have to read a book for my community service. Can you tell me which book is appropriate for a 9th grader?
- Do you have the Accelerated Readers reading list?
Luckily, our illustrious E-Librarian has provided a listing of reading lists that answers most of these questions. It’s now found on the new Kids Page of the website. Mouse over the Kids Section >> Click on the Kidspace >> Mouse over the Book Lists tab >> A listing of book lists should appear.
Normally, the reading lists only go to 8th grade. When a student asks for a ninth grade level and up book, that book could conceivably be anything in the adult fiction section (and the nonfiction, but most times they’re looking for a fiction book). We have no reading list for that. The only time it would be different is they’re looking for “classic fiction” or they need a specific genre. If it’s “a book” they are asking for the former applies.
As for accelerated reading lists, it depends on the school. They will have to ask the child’s teacher or their school for the list. However, the following resource may help:

~Create your own AR reading list or search for a book, author, or topic and see where they are on the list.
