FUN BOOKS FOR TWEENS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLERS

Ever wonder what in the world to give a tween or middle school kid as a gift? I am sure most of them want some fancy gadget or cool toy that's out in the market, but have you ever considered giving them a book?  I know, sound kind of boring for them, but this collection of books are the top-rated books among tween readers.  Many of the books below contain story lines that the kids  can relate to, they are funny and full of adventure.

Almost every child that is in elementary (and even middle) school has a "drop and read" program or similar, where they have to read for at least 20-30 minutes a day.  Why not get them a book that will be fun to read?

Check out some of these favorites:

Also out now, is the most recent of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series, "The Getaway."  In this new book, Greg Heffley and his family are getting out of town. Greg and his family decide to escape to a tropical island resort for some much-needed rest and relaxation, as thy try to get away from the cold weather back home.  As fans know, things with the Heffley family never go smoothly.  Sun poisoning, stomach troubles, and venomous critters all threaten to ruin the family's vacation. Can their trip be saved, or will this island getaway end in disaster?

If your child is a "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" fan, they are going to love this new adventurous book!  This series is one of the funniest and most enjoyable books for tweens, especially boys.  Boys seem to relate to Greg Heffley, and in turn, they find themselves reading more often to see what happens next.  Reading more is always a win-win!

FANTASY CHILDREN'S BOOK - ANNI MOON & THE ELEMENTAL ARTIFACT

Have your kids been reading this summer?  Do they complain there are never any good books to read?  If your kids are anything like mine, they always have their head in an electronic gadget. It is so frustrating how they are always using an iPad or iPhone. I know it's out own fault but it's a whole new world of technology.  However, my husband, who is "old school" is always trying to get our kids to read and I always tell him, the problem is that they can never find a great book they love.  Well, now I have found one for them!  It is Anni Moon & The Elemental Artifact,  a Fantasy Adventure for kids, probably best for middle-school aged children, by author, Melanie Abed.

It is a beautifully-written fantasy adventure book about Elementals, Funk, Zephyrs, excited talking Bat-Rat creatures, Dragons and a girl named, Anni.   When her best friend, Lexi is kidnapped, both she and her friend are pulled into the Elemental world where all this is normal. In a race against time, Anni must master this new world and save Lexi, all while knowing there’s no return to her old life. But saving her friend could cost Anni more than she’s bargained for.

Anni must uncover secrets and discover the unofficial truth behind an Elemental legend, while confronted by a dragon intent on testing her nerve and strength, not to mention an occasional monster and human generated Funk! Funk? Yes, Funk, the sticky, invisible slimy stuff that you humans cannot see!
