Personally, I found them a little too sunshine-y (and sickeningly sweet), but I appreciate the positive storylines and the strong vocabulary.

2ND GRADE DOT BY DOT LION SERIES

This is a friendly, gentle series about young animals. The Adventures of Sophie Mouse books, by Poppy Green My only issue is that Jo Schmo is excessively boy crazy while it's completely harmless, that may make this series better suited for older, struggling readers than for young advanced readers. The book is well written with clever jokes and funny wordplay. Jo comes from a long line of crime fighters, and it's her turn to join the family business. Written by the author of the Melvin Beederman, Superhero series, these books are about a fourth-grade girl hero - Jo Schmo. The Adventures of Jo Schmo, by Greg Trine If your learners get hooked on them, that's great - because there are over 80 books in the series. I've never gotten into this series, but they've been very popular since the 90's. The books are a little creepy, but never too scary. In each book they believe an authority figure is a monster of some sort, try to prove it, and don't really get any final resolution (or at least that's my take on it). This is a classic monster series about a group of third graders. The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series, by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones Ada is both intelligent and relatable, and the author integrates science concepts in a natural way. It's also nice to find a series aimed at girls which isn't about fairies and unicorns. Strongly recommended! (Currently 4 books in the series)Īda Lace is an 8-year-old girl who loves science and technology - and I love that the series is written by another female who loves science (and happens to have both aerospace and aeronautics degrees). Warner's books read like good stand-alone novels, not like so many early chapter book series which feel mass-produced. Warner shares Alfie's interesting second grade adventures while also portraying loving family relationships. Alfie is the younger sister in a loving African-American family living in suburbia. This is a wonderful series featuring Ellray Jakes' younger sister (see the Ellray Jakes series further down in this list). Looking for a book by title?
