Eighth Grade Book List

Discover literature that your eighth graders will enjoy by using this Eighth Grade Book List to help plan their studies.

Finding books for your eighth grader can be a bit tricky. Some eighth-graders are already reading young adult books, while some might not love reading. Others might still struggle to get engaged with literature.

Eighth grade was the time when I had to start really paying attention to books that were being promoted to my children’s age group.

The majority of the books my kids brought home were repeats because who doesn’t love to read their favorite books over and over? However, the new releases started covering topics that I felt my children were not ready for even if they were “teenagers” now. 

I believe that it is imperative that parents pay attention to the literature that their kids are reading — no matter how old they are or what grade they’re in. Books that our kids read need to be age-appropriate, but more important appropriate for each child’s maturity level. 

A few of my children’s favorite books from eighth grade include, ‘The Cooper Kids‘, ‘Percy Jackson‘ and ‘The Mysterious Benedict Society‘.

All of these are normal and there is hope. With all of the literature options available, there truly is something that is just the right fit for your soon-to-be young adult. This eighth grade book list is sure to help you and your teen find books that interest them!
