Many of these 8 and 9-year-olds are reading independently and starting to form opinions about what they like and what they’re curious about. 3rd graders are still filled with a sense of wonder about the world around them and want to know how things work. They also love to be entertained and still enjoy read alouds. This list covers a huge range of topics and formats—we’ve got books for reluctant readers, advanced readers, readers who enjoy graphic novels, and more. We cover topics like science, history, biography, and math. There’s something for everyone here!

These books allow young readers to explore new places, cultures, animals, people, and historical events. Books in a series often follow a similar format, and this predictability helps kids build reading confidence while developing their vocabulary and comprehension. Today’s nonfiction book series hook readers by sharing information in compelling ways. We love all these series, but especially recommend Weird But True and Unsolved Case Files. Let’s get started with some great nonfiction book series for kids!

My favorite brand of middle grade non-fiction is memoirs, especially graphic memoirs. I also enjoy the "self-help" genre, such as books geared to help kids write better, improve their entrepreneurial methods, or find better friendships.

If you're looking to add more middle grade non-fiction to your reading list, then this list will help. I've included food books, graphic memoirs, historical stories, books to help kids write better, and much more.
