Middle School Novels

Great stories, real characters, and plenty to talk about.

A novel is a long story written in prose (ordinary sentences, not poetry) about made-up people. The best ones feel so real that you find yourself arguing about the characters long after you close the book.

Each guide here helps you meet the characters, follow the story chapter by chapter, understand the world it was written in, and test yourself with a quiz. Every guide ends with questions that have no single right answer, perfect for class or a book club.
