I will never forget that we had to read Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech when I was in 5th grade, and everyone in class absolutely loved it, me included. That's a perfect book for 5th grade.

I would say it depends on your reading level. If you would try books that most people(even your parents) who say that book is too much for you, and you use a dictionary, that your comprehension of the meaning of words and your enjoyment of the written word in any story, whether fiction(not real) or non-fiction(real, or supposed to be real) will improve dramatically over those of your friends. On top of all that you might get to the point of writing your own stories and become(if you achieve this before 14 years of age) the youngest published writer anywhere. Good luck and happy reading. Oh yeah, try the series by Emily Drake. Sort of like Harry Potter but it takes place in America.

If you're looking for historical reading, I suggest "Prelude to Glory" by Ron Carter. It's easier reading and yet it still very well written. I also suggest "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'engle if you're looking for something of more fictional.
Cheers!
