Belling The Tiger
Middle grade · ages 8–12 · 720L · 1961
A smart, character-driven fable about peer pressure and finding your spine — mid-century earnest without being saccharine, and genuinely suspenseful about whether the protagonist will act.
The Noonday Friends
Middle grade · ages 8–12 · 720L
A quiet, character-driven book about what friendship actually means to kids—not drama or loyalty tests, but presence and attention during lunch hour; it trusts readers to care about ordinary moments.
