Wat is a good book for a 9 year old that wants an AR book.Her level is 4.6-9.0?

Question

Please tell me a book and it's author or only an author or olny a book or tell me how to find one.

Answer 1

Not sure what an AR book is. What does she like?

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo is good. A fantasy/quest book about a mouse who ventures into a reputedly dangerous basement to save a princess.

Wren to the Rescue by Sherwood Smith is a great easy fantasy book about an orphan, Wren, who discovers she has magical powers when she has to rescue her best friend -- another orphan who turns out to be a princess in disguise.

Catwings (and sequels) by Ursula LeGuin is a quartet of books about cats with wings -- sounds strange, but very good (and short.)

Bloomability by Sharon Creech (all her books are excellent) is about a girl who goes to boarding school in Switzerland where her uncle is the headmaster, and she meets a colorful cast of friends from all over the world.

Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary books are good at this age. Nancy Drew, Babysitter's Club, Three Investigators, Greek and Roman Myths (I like the d'Aulaires and McCaughrean translations).

Hoot by Carl Hiaassen (sp?) is a good book about kids who try to save some endangered owls from a crooked developer. Very funny and environmentally focused. His novel Flush is good, too.

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. A novel length retelling of Cinderella, with funny, touching moments.

Check with her school or your local public children's librarian. They are usually excellent at recommending books based on ones you have liked already.

Answer 2

Your school library and local library should have a list of AR books detailing the grade level and the number of points the book is worth. Some libraries keep copies of the list in binders that kids/parents could easily browse through. Other libraries put stickers on the books to mark them as being AR. But talking to your school librarian or local public librarian should provide guidance as to finding particular books. It's hard to recommend a specific book since no one has your school's list in front of them. Anyway, Scholastic book club offers are typically pretty good about listing which ones of their books are on the AR list. I can remember Eragon as definitely begin on the list...and there are probably hundreds of others that would be a good choice for that age group. The lists appear to be updated each year to include popular titles...so it shouldn't be any problem once you have the list.

For an example of what the list looks like...this school system seems to have theirs online:

Fudge-a-mania by Judy Blume 4.6
Holes by Louis Sachar 4.6
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Coerr 4.7

Answer 3

You can go to your local library and ask them to point you in the right direction for the age group. You usually can't go wrong with Newberry Award winning books. I know that a few of my favorites from when I was around that age were To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Bridge to Terebithia by Katherine Patterson. She may also enjoy the Beverly Cleary (Ramona series) and Judy Blume (Tiger Eyes, Blubber, Are you there God? It's me Margaret) books. Another good series is the Little House on the Prairie set.

Answer 4

nicely sturdy for her. I observed a pair of suggestions...kazoo,guitar, being 2. she will additionally make shakers (somewhat great for those leftover plastic Easter Eggs) and may be created from many stuff. Drum(s), playing the spoons, Rainsticks ( use a papertowel tube). there's a e book which you would be able to examine out of the library which will provide guidelines on making abode made gadgets, this is component of the youngsters Can series (additionally they have technological know-how, Math, analyzing variations of the e book). i'm hoping that helps and that she enjoys her new gadgets.

Answer 5

Try Anne Of Green Gables, Junie B Books or even the Goosebumps or Babysitters Club. (If they are still around.)

Answer 6

The Trumpet of the Swan is really good.

Answer 7

I enjoyed "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" when I was around your age. :)
