aggieamy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We're leaving on a road trip and DD found my stash of chapter books I set aside for her to read on the trip and read them all! Ugh. (I know, I know. Homeschool mom problems.) I have time to run by the library tomorrow though so all hope is not lost. Can you please give me some great ideas of books your 9 yos have loved lately? I'm feeling a little uninspired lately. She is a fast reader and can read quite well. She also enjoys graphic novels but hasn't read many of those. A few of her favorites lately have been: Roman Mysteries series Harry Potter Percy Jackson Dealing with Dragons Dragon Slippers Chasing Vermeer Amulet - Graphic Novel series Princess Academy Oz Graphic novels Enola Holmes mysteries series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 My 9yo is currently enjoying Kathryn Lasky's Guardians of Gahoole and Wolves of the Beyond series. These might be a bit "young" for your dd based on your list above. Our current read-aloud is The Dark is Rising, mentioned above--dd really likes this as well. It's the second in the series which starts with Over Sea, Under Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebunny Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Anything by Kate D'camillo is much loved around here. "The miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" is a beautiful though sad story. Then there's -"because of Winn Dixie", "Tale of Desperaux".. How about Eva Ibbotson whose style of writing is light hearted and fun- "Which Witch" and "Not just a witch".
