Scary Stories for Young Foxes
by Christian McKay Heidicker
Middle grade · ages 8–12 · 720L · 2021
A genuinely clever frame—young foxes telling each other scary stories to prove their bravery—that legitimizes both the scares and the friendships, without dipping into sustained dread.
Clearing Weather
by Cornelia Meigs
Middle grade · ages 10–14 · 750L · 2018
A vivid, earnest historical adventure that trusts kids to care about character and setting without dumbing down the language—older mid-grades and reluctant readers who love historical fiction will find real depth here.
The Curse Breaker
by Jen Calonita
Middle grade · ages 8–12 · 720L · 2026
A solid fantasy-adventure with a cursed-princess protagonist who actually investigates her own story instead of waiting for rescue — the curse is the engine of the plot, not decoration.
