HAISLN 7th & 8th Grade Recommended Reading List

This list of titles has been compiled by librarians at member schools of the Houston Area Independent School Library Network (HAISLN). It includes both fiction and nonfiction books by some of the best authors for children and young adults.
Books on this list are evaluated annually by grade-level committees. Committee members rely on recommendations from standard, professionally prepared evaluation aids and on input from students and teachers, as well as the collective HAISLN expertise. A conscious effort is made to appeal to the broad range of interests, maturity levels, and reading abilities of students.
Visit http://haisln.org/reading-lists.html to find all of our grade-level reading lists with summaries.
