Preferably chapter books in the 8-12 age range. The only really good ones I've ever come across was the Golden Filly series by Lauraine Snelling. Know of any others?

I know where to find books, trust me I have an extensive library. I'm looking for books for my daughter and it seems like the christian genre skips right over adolescent aged kids. I would just like to know if anybody has a specific favorite they could tell me about.

The Chronicles of Narnia come to mind first and foremost. They were definitely some of my favorites at that age--and still are to be quite honest. Other favorites included classics like Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon, Little House on the Prarie, Caddie Woodlawn, etc. My mom read us a lot of Lois Lenski books like Strawberry Girl, Betsy-Tacy, Judy's Journey, Cotton In My Sack, etc. Another series which was among my favorites was by Arleta Richardson: In Grandma's Attic, More Stories From Grandma's Attic, Still More Stories from Grandma's Attic, Treasures From Grandma, Away From Home, A School of Her Own, Wedding Bells Ahead, At Home in North Branch, New Faces New Friends, Stories From The Growing Years.
I went to a Christian school, where they collected all of the Mandie series by Lois Gladys Leppard. The first in the series is Mandie and the Secret Tunnel.
Frank Peretti seems to have two children/YA series going (I'm unsure of the target age group) one is Cooper Kids Adventure Series and the second is Veritas Project.
Christianbook.com might also be a good resource.

*Where the Red Fern Grows* is a great book for that age group. I don't think it's a Christian book per say, but I went to a Christian school and we read it in 5th grade.

What Faith of the Christian system are you a member of?
Within the Roman Catholic Church, where I teach, our books are permitted to be used by any of the Parish Members to read, take home, etc....
Also, I do know, my local Church Of Christ, has a small Library and they check out books there also.
We tend to help each other out one could say.

CS Lewis, the Chronicles of Narnia. I've read them through about 15 times, from the time I was about 9 or 10. They're old, but they're relevant.

Look for bible stories books available at most book stores or religious gift stores.
