Your favourite books series when you were in grade 7?
My sister needs a new series, she’s just finishing the Percy Jackson books and loving it
Rick Riordan also has the Magnus Chase series
Flowers in the Attic series
Um, isn’t that a series about an incestuous romantic relationship? The kid’s about 12…
Well there’s more to it than that but that is in there.
There’s a lot of abuse in that, I’m not about censorship, but that series is meant for an older age group.
I was about 12 when I started reading VC Andrews.
Well my mom thought I was mature enough to handle it, so…
That’s well and all just making sure she knows what she’s giving her little sister. We can’t assume her parents would be okay with it. When i was that age my sister gave me a toby mac CD (a CHRISTIAN rapper lol) and my dad was livid. He said that all rap is “too provocative”. Some parents shelter, it happens.
@Cadence As a parent, I completely understand.
I was just answering the question of what series I was reading in 7th grade.
I completely fell in love with the “Heaven” series. But, I also read Julius Caesar that year too.
Aw lol Dee, I’m not trying to insult you really. All but two of the things I listed my parents actually approved. Harry potter, storm thief , LOTR, and anne of green gables were read and kept at school because i borrowed them from friends. My mom still thinks i read HP in high school lol.
@Cadence I wish I had better recommendations for you. My son is 19. My niece is 12 and loves the Warrior Cat series.
I think I forget how young 7th grade was/is. I was reading Stephen King by then too.
Lol Kelli, it’s all good I’ll read anything I’m half way done with wheel of time right now
I read Flowers in the Attic in middle school, it was the early 90s . . . Those books were really popular then.
@Kelli my students love the warrior cat series! That and percy jackson.
@Kelli Heaven series is also a fav of Andrews.
SE Hinton and all her books. Not exactly a “series”, as only two of them are actually meant to go together (have the same characters), but all are loosely similar/related.
@Grace YES! I was also introduced to what is now the giver quartet in 7th grade. It was a stand alone back then.
I read The Giver right around 5th grade, I believe, but yes–I loved all those classics!
I was twilight obsessed in 7th grade
harry potter or sisters of the sword. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3124695-sisters-of-the-sword hear is the goodreads link to sisters of the sword
Dune, but that might have just been me….
LOL I’m old so my answer would probably be Anne of Green Gables.
Little House on the Prairie series.
Sorry, I read that as age 7 not grade 7… I loved the Flowers in the Attic series at that age.
His Dark Materials Trilogy, by Philip Pullman
Scott ODell books
Books did not have a “young adult” category per se when I was in the seventh grade. I was reading Jean Auel and John Saul then. I did like reading Christopher Pike, but he was not child friendly either.
Sweet Valley High
My kiddo loved The Fablehaven Series. It’s a fantasy series.
Those are good. And ‘Sisters Grimm’
Ooooh…never heard of that one
I think my favorite part of it is that Prince Charming has multiple ex-wives. I found it funny.
Sounds like I need to check it out
Let me know what you think. I believe there are eight books is the series.
My school’s library had lots of pretty old books, so I think I was mostly reading Albert Payson Terhune’s books back then.
But some books I’ve read as an adult that she might like are:
The Dark Is Rising series
The Felix Brooke series by Joan Aiken
anything by Cynthia Voigt, but especially the Tillerman series and the Mister Max series
The Luck Uglies by Paul Durham
The Futhermore series by Tahereh Mafi
The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander
The Peter Nimble series by Jonathan Auxier
The Young Wizards series by Diane Duane
Zahrah the Windseeker by Nnedi Okorafor (she also has a series Akata Witch which I didn’t like as much, but I’ve seen a lot of people praise it)
I think I read Narnia around then (8th grade) & really liked it.
golden compass too
Rick Riordan has a few other series that she might also enjoy.
Golden Compass
The Hunger Games
The Maze Runner
Harry Potter
Harry potter
Land of elyon
Lord of the rings
The hunger games
Anne of green gables
Narnia- fast read for a series
Not a series but storm thief was good
Narnia – CS Lewis
Marina and Sweet Valley High
I think I was reading a lot of Meg Cabot books at that time. Princess Diaries, the Mediator series, 1-800 Where r u. Stuff like that. Oh and I also read the Pendragon series and Uglies, Pretties, Specials by Scott Westerfeld
R.L. Stine – Fear Street & Fear Street Cheerleaders
If she likes the Percy Jackson, I would really recommend the Pendragon series. There’s 10 books in total.
Agree!! Great series!
The Inkheart series was phenomenal
Enchanted Forest Chronicles!!
Black Stallion, Sweet Valley High, Anne of Green Gables, Flowers in the Attic, I’m pretty sure there was some others, but not thinking of them right now.
Zilpha Keatley Snyder
I really enjoyed the castle in the attic, but I think that was 6th grade!
Fear Street
The program series .mis peregrine ,delirium and legend ,scythe
I read a lot of mysteries back then both fiction and nonfiction. I loved historical fiction and true stories. I read Follow the River, Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume, I did a research paper on the kidnapping of the Lindburgh baby and I loved reading about the loch nest monster. I also loved Sherlock Holmes, Encyclopedia Brown, Agatha Christie, Nancy Drew, and I still loved reading books that today may seem young. Beverly Cleary’s Ellen Tebbits, Mouse and the Motorcycle. I also loved the The House of Dies Drear and The Mystery of Drear House.
The wild magic series by Tamora Pierce!
39 clues series
The same author who wrote Percy Jackson also wrote the first book in the 39 clues series.
She might want to try The Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper. Be sure to start with Over Sea, Under Stone.
I read Jane Austen and Anne of Green Gables at that age. Lloyd Alexander was great for fantasy. I also liked the His Dark Materials series and the Pellinor Books.
the baby sitters club by Ann Martin
is a great read and am sure she wil enjoy reading them
I liked fantasy so Shannara was my go to 🙂 Anne McCaffrey’s books too.
Vampire Diaries (long before it was ever a TV series).
If she likes Percy Jackson then she’ll like the rest of Rick Riordan too.
Animorphs and Harry Potter
Not sure because that was too long ago… The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe… that series… or is that too young? ??♀️
Narniaaaaaaa!!!!!
Dear America
i definitely recommend The Giver quartet (i read the first book at school not knowing it was a series and the rest are phenomenal!), His Dark Materials (Golden Compass), Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Maze Runner, Shadow Children series, Unwind series, Disney Villains series by Serena Valentino
Eragon
What age is Grade 7?
@Lauren About 12
Charlie Bone series by Jenny Nimmo
Sweet Valley High
Terry Pratchett’s Wee Free Men. First book in a storyline with a strong, young, female protagonist, hilarious and very clever. Cannot recommend it/them highly enough.
The Hunger Games, The Iron Queen series, Fallen and the Beautiful Creatures series for example 🙂

This thread is making me seriously worried about my reading level/taste in books. I’m 41 and most of these books I still re-read or have on my want to read list! ?
I just read Percy Jackson last year, and I intend to re-read The Series of Unfortunate Events again ?♀️
Cherry Ames (haha…it was a long time ago I was in grade 7; but I became a nurse because of her…
The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander is a great fantasy series for kids.
Has she read the Michael Vey series? A young man her age recommended them to me for me Little Free Library.
Also, check out Robert Beatty’s Serafina series and his new Willa of the Wood, too.
Dragon riders of pern by Anne McCaffrey
Anne of Green Gables. LM Montgomery has other ones, too.
The series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket
Boxcar children
Beverly Cleary books
The Series of Unfortunate Events
Tamora Pierce, The Song of the Lioness Quartet. Then The Immortals Quartet.
I still reread these books.
And Pierce as written so many more books since- continuing within the same world.
U should go to her page.
Her books really started me loving YA fantasy.
I totally agree. My daughter and I loved her books when she was younger, and we love them still.
Thank you so much everyone? I will definitely look into all of these with joy!!!?
The warriors series
Nancy Drew mysteries, The Three Investigators and the Hardy Boys lol those were the ones I liked at that age ?
