Most seventh graders will find that this list ranges from fairly simple to extremely challenging. As always, use your common sense. If you glance over a book and think it’s too difficult or if the student begins it and struggles for more than a couple of chapters, skip it and move on. Good readers can certainly go on to explore the more difficult works of Dickens, Austen, Twain, and any of the writers listed below. Slower readers can simply skip some of these titles.

Where a particularly affordable and/or readable edition exists, we’ve listed this as top option; you can also browse through the literature section of your local bookstore and pick up the edition that appeals to you. Keep an eye out for the Dover Thrift editions, which are cheap and readable (but minus scholarly footnotes, which no seventh grader really needs anyway) and cost only $1.00 to $3.00. Most bookstores carry a good selection and can order any title in the series.

Continue to discuss these books and to prepare one-page summaries and/or book reports. File the book reports in the history notebook under The Arts and Great Books. Also explore the library for seventh-to ninth-grade-level books, adaptations, biographies, and historical novels by and about these writers and thinkers listed here in chronological order:
