Top Ten Novels They Make You Read in Middle School

The Top Ten
1 The Diary of a Young Girl

No, I didn't waste my time for this trash

2 The Hunger Games

Would you believe me if I told you that my class read this in ELEMENTARY?

The teacher (or school board) should have been dismissed, forthwith.

3 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

An excellent choice

4 Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
5 Geeks
6 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
7 The Complete Sherlock Holmes
8 Maniac Magee

I read this in ELEMENTARY school (4th or 5th grade)

9 The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton

I loved the novel a lot more than the movie based on it. That was the first time I ever thought a book was better than the movie. Plus, it has one of my favorite quotes in all of literature, "Stay gold".

We read this near the end of 8th grade where I'm actually about to graduate middle school. Sadly, we didn't get to completely watch the film and the book.

This book was actually good

10 The Giver

I read this this year in seventh grade

I read this in HIGH school (9th grade)

11 Fantastic Mr. Fox
12 Animal Farm
13 Touching Spirit Bear
14 Wonder
