Sometimes the best book for a middle school reader is a book about middle school itself — watching other students navigate the ups and downs can give kiddos tips, or at the very least let them commiserate with the characters. Other times, a fantasy world can be a fabulous getaway to let the reader live somewhere else for awhile, at least in their minds. No matter what the middle school reader in your life needs, there is definitely a book series to fill that void.
Below, I’ve rounded up 15 fantastic middle school book series. These range from new trilogies to beloved classics with multiple installments. Whether your reader chooses to enjoy these in hand, on audio, or in one of graphic novel adaptations that are taking middle grade classics by storm, they’re sure to find something to make the middle school years more bearable.
Hopefully you’ve found a middle school book series to pique the interest of a reader close to your heart. If you’re looking for more middle grade suggestions, try this list of Middle Grade Novels with Neurodivergent Characters or these Middle School Mystery Novels. Happy reading!
