I devoured the entire <em>Diary of a Wimpy Kid<\/em> series in a single week (very upsetting for 5th grade me), and decided to become a writer when I read <em>The Face On The Milk Carton<\/em> by Caroline B. Cooney in the 6th grade. It\u2019s crazy how literature can change a life. Especially as a girl, reading novels written by women inspired me to want to create my own stories. Because if they could do it, I knew I could do it, too. Which is why it is so important to encourage young girls to read books that will enrich their values and fuel their creativity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-c2a498a2872a4a147f77fc438284e0d8\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">As young children we read picture-books with moral lessons that make us understand how the world works and how we fit in it. Middle school is a drawn-out transition into teenhood, different kinds of relationships, responsibilities, expectations, and this scary place called high school. <em>That<\/em> is when you discover novels have a different lesson to teach you: and that is how to navigate change and growth. Relating to others makes us feel a little less alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-00434ee7c215cd3478c8023f30122891\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Middle school is scary; puberty starts, crushes get complex, friendships fluctuate and get redefined, academics get harder, and teachers start talking about c-o-l-l-e-g-e (terrifying and confusing when you still get snack time). Novels can help children understand difficult feelings, changes, the people around them, and discover personal goals and dreams. Which is why I have compiled a list of 5 middle grade books you should get your middle schooler(s) or even add to your classroom if you\u2019re a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"701\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-4-701x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109\" style=\"width:340px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-4-701x1024.jpeg 701w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-4-205x300.jpeg 205w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-4.jpeg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-10e15ea3d73fb3ee70ef97f8d823f462\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dorkdiaries.com\/\">Dork Diaries<\/a> by Rachel Ren\u00e9e Russell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-f289c8cd59b4eb383a4853795a110431\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">In the 7th grade I begged my mom to get me this book series. As I said before, I read the <em>Diary of A Wimpy Kid<\/em> books when I was in 5th grade, and I absolutely adored them. However, I had been lent one of the <em>Dork Diaries<\/em> books and I fell in love with the art. I begged and begged until my mom caved and got me the series. I started my own diary when I read it, and I would draw some of the scenes of my day just like the protagonist would draw in her diary. Not only did it encourage me to journal but to improve my art by drawing almost everyday.&nbsp;The <em>Dork Diaries<\/em> currently has 16 books, all following Nikki Maxwell as she navigates the start of a new school, making new friends, dealing with a mean girl, and getting a new crush.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-1-708x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106\" style=\"width:340px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-1-708x1024.jpeg 708w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-1-207x300.jpeg 207w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-1-768x1111.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-1.jpeg 812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-8275dc59d18acea9dafc3af124da2464\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/My-Sister-Vampire-No-Switched\/dp\/006087113X\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0\">My Sister The Vampire<\/a> by Sienna Mercer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-31dd7a552288c6f41bf88206af16995f\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Who doesn\u2019t like a good vampire story? I still get asked if I\u2019m team Jacob or Team Edward (plot twist, I\u2019m team Charlie; poor man\u2019s life was a horror movie). My cousin was the one that introduced me to this series. My mom had gotten her the first few books in the series and I got curious when I saw the pretty covers, so my cousin lent them to me after she read them. Maybe that\u2019s why I love vampires and plot twists so much now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-d71385b6b02f7dd8f2f80f3436420b91\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Currently, <em>My Sister The Vampire<\/em> is an 18 books series, each book being relatively short. The first book follows bubbly, perky Olivia Abbott as she moves to a new town. She is eager to join the cheer team and make new friends. At school she meets a girl named Ivy Vega, who is totally opposite to her and totally gothic. However, when they both look past the glitter and the thick, dark eyeliner, they realize they are identical twin sisters. Beyond their new discovery, Olivia finds out her sister is a vampire, and Ivy isn\u2019t the only one in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-2-732x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\" style=\"width:340px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-2-732x1024.jpeg 732w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-2-214x300.jpeg 214w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-2.jpeg 736w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-9e6354d264cf4f1d4aae4fe43b8f32ea\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cinderella-Stays-Late-Grimmtastic-Girls\/dp\/0545519837\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0\">Grimmtastic Girls<\/a> by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a1fd8d78adcad21cc1a2ab7cfebe5011\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">Fairytales never lose popularity. There are so many retellings I wouldn\u2019t be able to count them all. No one is ever too old for fairytales. There\u2019s always a way to reimagine stories and carry them with us in every phase of our lives. <em>Grimmtastic Girls<\/em> changed the way I saw the childhood stories my grandma used to read to me. Full of references and a fun magical system, <em>Grimmtastic Girls<\/em> is an 8 books series about friendships and facing your fears. The first book follows Cinderella in her first week of school. Her mean step sisters are making her life impossible at Grimm Academy, giving her terrible advice and making her look bad in front of her new friends. When she overhears them plotting a villainous deed that could ruin the Prince\u2019s ball, Cinderella and her new friends, Red, Snow, and Rapunzel, must thwart The Steps\u2019 wicked plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-669x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105\" style=\"width:340px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-669x1024.jpeg 669w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-196x300.jpeg 196w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-768x1175.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image-1004x1536.jpeg 1004w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/onemorechapter\/wp-content\/uploads\/46\/2026\/02\/image.jpeg 1046w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-8b7f139a12db656678af047a08169275\"><a href=\"https:\/\/books.disney.com\/book\/the-isle-of-the-lost\/\">The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel<\/a> by Melissa de la Cruz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-b8b5c83e535a99fca96f589c7435eaee\" style=\"line-height:1.6\">If you were a Disney Channel kid, you definitely know about <em>Descendants<\/em>. <em>The Isle of the Lost<\/em> is the prequel to the <em>Descendants<\/em> movie.
