Not sure what to read? 

Each year, Rhode Island school librarians and classroom teachers select 20 books for the Rhode Island Middle School Book Awards list.  These book titles are only suggestions for possible reading.  The final choice for book selection is yours. 

  • We strongly advise parents/guardians to preview the content and summaries of the book options before their child chooses one to read. This will help families work together to choose a book that best fits the student’s interests, reading level, and maturity level.
  • The book titles listed below are all available in print, eBook or audiobook, book on CD, and on occasion, portable media player (Playaway) at the public library.
