Best Series for ages 6-9

My newly minted 7 year old has been reading up a storm which is so heartening to see as she was our ‘late reader’! Just proof that whether they begin to read at age 4 or 7, they truly do take off! As my older ones are firmly into middle grade at this point, it was fun to revisit some of the early chapter book series and to discover new ones! I’m often asked what books are perfect for this age group (6-9) and here are our favorites:

Ellie May on April Fools' Day
By Homzie, Hillary
My Happy Life
By Lagercrantz, Rose
Juana and Lucas
By Medina, Juana
Katie Woo and Friends
By Manushkin, Fran
Rock Star #1 (Jada Jones)
By Lyons, Kelly Starling
