75 CHAPTER BOOKS our kids recommend!

December 12, 2020 by Julie kreke Leave a Comment

I have had many requests to share a list of books our kids have enjoyed. What our kids read shapes who they become. Some of the series I read as a young person gave me an unhealthy desire for the world and caused me a detour in the path that God planned for me. I don’t want that for my children. The challenge, though, is that some of my kids are fast readers who love books and I just don’t have the time to pre-read every book before them. My solution has been to do research and then order books for them, rather than allow my kids to wander the library or bookstore shelves and choose books without any guidance. It’s not a perfect system, but it has worked for us. I have spent hours searching through online lists others have made, reading book reviews, and seeking suggestions from others.

This list is a collection of books that my kids (ages 7-14) have recommended.

I continue adding to our “favorites list” as we find more book treasures… make sure you’re subscribed to thedelightfulhomeschool.com so you don’t miss future lists! All the books are linked with an Amazon affiliate links so you can go read the book summary and find out more!
