Most Underrated Books and Book Series

The Top Ten

  1. Lumatere Chronicles - Melina Marchetta

    No one really ever reads it. The author, Melina Marchetta, is probably the most underrated author of the decade. The Lumatere Chronicles is the greatest historical book in my opinion. Great plot, characters, and settings.

  2. Amelia Bedelia - Peggy Parish

  3. Evil Genius Series - Catherine Jinks

    A great book trilogy, just behind the Artemis Fowl series. It's nerve-wracking, has lots of plot twists, and no grammatical or spelling errors.

  4. Because of Winn-Dixie - Kate DiCamillo

  5. Replica Series - Marilyn Kaye

    A great series even if it is a tad bit short. It portrays the evil behind school doors and how cloning is possible. I started reading it when I was in the fifth year, and I only remembered it now.

    By: Marilyn Kaye

  6. Books of Ember - Jeanne Duprau

  7. Starcrossed Series - Josephine Angelini

    I think it's underrated. I never saw it in trailers, and very few read them. This is the third Greek mythology-based book I've read, and it's really good. Highly recommended for teens and up.

  8. Bridge to Terabithia - Katherine Paterson

  9. Time of the Eagle - Sheryl Jordan

    Admit it, this book is not very famous. The reviewers only reviewed this book because the author previously wrote an award-winning book. Thankfully, some of the Goodreads readers have read this book and approved.

  10. Clifford the Big Red Dog - Norman Bridwell

    11. The Newcomers

    The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks - Joanna Cole

  12. ?

    Mansfield Park - Jane Austen

    13. The Contenders

  13. Cassidy Jones Series - Elise Stokes

    I absolutely love this book. When I first started using Kindle, the first thing that came up in the free section was this book, so I started reading it. I found it highly entertaining, and I can't believe that it's free even though it's great.

    It's a debut book, and I know that the author will have a very lively writing career.

  14. Curious George - Margret and H.A. Rey

  15. Vampeen Chronicles - Christin Lovell

    A new twist! It's not the everyday vampire story, and I absolutely love the love triangle between the characters. Christin Lovell has some skills! I've never seen anyone reading this, and I always wonder why.

  16. Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus - Barbara Park

  17. The Field Guide - Holly Black

  18. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - Lisa See

  19. Psion Series - Jacob Gowans

    Psion Beta, Gamma, and Delta are the best underrated series in the dystopian world. Even though I love Hunger Games and Divergent, I can't resist the urge to list this one.

    It's action-packed, coupled with romance, comedic elements, and Sammy is witty even if he's a bit offensive sometimes.

  20. My Side of the Mountain - Jean Craighead George

  21. Ramona Quimby, Age 8 - Beverly Cleary

  22. Little House on the Prairie - Laura Ingalls Wilder

  23. Warrior Cats - Erin Hunter

    You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It may be about cats, but it has complex characters and made me cry once, to be honest. My friends refuse to read it because of the cat part, but Warriors is an amazing series. Not the best, but it's up there on my favorite list.

    I hate that people judge it because it's about cats. This book series is amazing and better than Harry Potter or all of those other idiotic books that people seem to like, like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

    I swear, if you read this series, it will change your life for the better.

  24. Angelique and the Sultan - Anne Golon

  25. The Worst Witch - Jill Murphy

  26. Touching Spirit Bear - Ben Mikaelsen

    This book changed my life. It is a shame it's so underrated.

  27. Madeline - Ludwig Bemelmans
