Hey fellow middle school English teacher! \n\nMost of what I read to my kids are novels, but occasionally I'll pick something fun out of the "Random Book of Humor." \n\nRichard Peck's books are always fun to read aloud. "The Teacher's Funeral" is fun. \n\nAny of the books by Gordon Korman are absolutely hilarious. He honestly should do stand up comedy!\nhttp://gordonkorman.com/\n\nTry those.......if you want more, I'll send more titles when I get to school tomorrow. Let me know. :)

Try reading the "Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snickett....they're great and will keep your imagination running while we all wait!

Hatchet, The River, Where the Red Fern Grows, Harry Potter, White Fang, The Indian in the Cupboard, A Wrinkle In Time (there are several books in the series), The Janitor's Boy, Gold Dust, Tuck Everlasting (yes, boys like it too. They like the book better than the movie.) The Time Bike, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil Frankweiler, The Fighting Ground,Call me Francis Tucket. If he's a good reader, try The Westing Game, The Giver, or Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. These are all more advanced. If he is in Gr. 7 and a good reader, these will be doable.\n\nThis should get you started. CHeck with the school librarian or the public library. Happy reading!

To start I think your daughter should read Junie B. Jones. The series is funny but also easy to understand. It does not include very hard vocabulary and is fun to read.

You don't mention what age group.  Maurice Sendak is great for little ones - 3,4,5. For younger - Eric Karl has awesome books.\n\nMy son -7 and his sister - 9 are really enjoying the Junie B Jones series.\n\nAlso for 6 & 7 is Captain Underpants series \nand \nfor 8 & 9 the Baily School Kids series.
