101 Amazing Middle Grade (Ages 8-12) Books Everyone Should Read

All of these wonderful books are written for kids generally between 8-12, although of course it depends on the child and their individual reading level.
First I included some series that are must-reads. After, I just tried to keep books by the same author together, but otherwise there is no real order. Needless to say, there are many great books that did not make this list. But I have personally read and highly recommend the ones that are!
