Did you know that if you spent your entire lifetime doing nothing else, you still couldn’t read all the books ever written? You wouldn’t even have time for eating, sleeping, or using the restroom.
I bet a bunch of those books are super boring though. And many books written these days are made by AI. The amount of books out there only proves that people love to read, right? If they didn’t then nobody would be writing all these books. Well, I am one of those people who LOVE LOVE LOVE to read. And today I want to share with you my top 5 book recommendations for tweens.
I LOVE reading mostly fantasy books, but also Sci-Fi and even WWII stories.
What books do YOU like reading? Not sure? Maybe you’re looking for recommendations. Well, you’ve come to the right place! I know a few books that other tweens/teens enjoy!
Let’s start:
Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland
Wings of Fire is my favorite book series. The biggest reason for that is probably the fact that it takes place in a world FULL of dragons, and as you MOST LIKELY already know, I love dragons(hint, my name is AriesDragonGirl)
The story begins with the 7 dragons tribes locked in a war that has lasted 2 decades, known as the SandWing Succession. Five dragonets from the divided tribes are raised together to hopefully bring peace to the continent.
This series has a total of 16 books, and isn’t even finished yet! There is also a TV show being made, which I am so excited for!
Unbroken Laura Hillenbrand
Now, this is a book for those of you who enjoy learning about History. More specifically, WWII. Unbroken is a true story about the life of a man named Louis Zamperini. He survived the Japanese POW camps for two long, grueling years.
I found Unbroken to be a very interesting and compelling story. I think others my age that are interested in WWII would enjoy reading it too.
Lockwood & Co. by Jonathan Stroud
Lockwood & Co is my SECOND favorite book series, coming VERY close to beating Wings of Fire.
This book series takes place in a world where ghosts of all kinds haunt England. There are even big agencies created to help stop the spread of the undead. Some people have the ability to See, Hear, or Feel these ghosts. But not just any people.. KIDS. Only people younger than twenty can sense these ghosts, and as you get older, the abilities fade.
Lockwood & Co’s main protagonist is a girl named Lucy Carlyle who can Hear ghosts. After a tragic accident, she leaves her home town to London, where she joins a very small ghost-fighting agency called Lockwood & Co.
The series consists of 5 books, and each brings new, thrilling adventures to Lucy’s life.
And after reading, you can go watch the first season of a TV show adaptation on Netflix!
Restart by Gordon Korman
First of all, this book made me laugh. Like, REALLY laugh. Laugh so hard I was wheezing. And it’s not like it was a particularly funny one to read, there were just TWO PAGES that were absolutely HYSTERICAL! But aside from that, this book has an amazing plot and theme.Restart is about a 13 year old boy named Chase who got amnesia after falling off his roof. He doesn’t remember anything. The book follows the next few weeks of Chase’s life as he tries to figure out who he was, and who he’s going to be.
I really enjoyed reading Restart, and I think anyone, no matter what genre you prefer, would like this book.
The Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman
At first, I didn’t think this book was going to turn out to be much. But boy oh boy, never judge a book by its cover.
The Graveyard Book is the story of a boy called Nobody Owens, a boy raised by ghosts in a Graveyard. The book follows his life as he grows, meets new people, solves Graveyard mysteries, and faces the one who killed his parents.
I literally couldn’t take my eyes off this book. Whenever we were driving somewhere, I’d take it with me and read it in the car. I loved reading The Graveyard Book, and I definitely recommend it to others!
Conclusion
Well, those are my top five book recommendations for tweens! I really hope you found something interesting to read. Stop by some other posts by Momphotographer & Co. here:
