Books for 7th Grade

Our Books for 7th Grade collection features stories and nonfiction that speak to 12- to 13-year-olds navigating bigger questions and emotions. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular titles across genres—fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary fiction, historical fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction—that support both enjoyment and critical thinking. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, age-appropriateness, and inclusive representation, with notes on heavier themes so adults can choose what fits their family. Use the filters to explore by genre, subject tie-in (history, science, social issues), reading level, and themes like identity, friendship, mental health, or social justice. You can also filter for high-interest or audio-friendly picks that often work well for ADHD or dyslexic readers. Many families anchor seventh grade language arts around selections from this collection. If you’re unsure which books will engage your reader without overwhelming them, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you build a thoughtful list.
