Each evening I read a chapter or two with each of my kids before bed. Since my kids are in elementary school, we read ample middle grade books (ages 8-12).
As I thought about some of the books we read, I landed on my favorite five books for 2024.

Best Family Ever had great characters with an engaging plot. I appreciated the way the author wove her story around a healthy family.

The Boy Who Met a Whale was an adventure based in Sri Lanka with characters you cared about.

Bob is an incredible character you just love journeying alongside and joining his own growth.

This series is so much fun: Trekking around the world on treasuring find missions with characters you love. Another great story with a healthy family at the center.

The main character makes this book shine and one you can't put down. I love how the kids rally around a refugee boy and extend friendship to him.
Looking forward to another year of more wonderful books to discover together with my kids!
