If your middle grader loves Diary of a Wimpy Kid,

have them try this: Timmy Failure by Stephan Pastis


If your middle grader loves Harry Potter,

have them try this: The Water Castle by Megan Frazer Blakemore

(This one is truly, truly wonderful. Just great.)

If your middle grader loves The Princess Academy,

have them try this: Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis (and its sequels) (so fun!)
