Books for 8th Grade

Our Books for 8th Grade collection features stories and nonfiction that meet readers around ages 13–14 as they explore more complex plots and themes. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular titles including contemporary and historical fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, memoir, and narrative nonfiction. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, age-appropriateness, and inclusive representation, with guidance on intense content so you can choose what fits your family. Use the filters to explore by genre, subject connection (history, science, social issues), reading level, and themes like identity, friendship, justice, and mental health. You can also filter for audio-friendly or high-interest picks that often support ADHD or dyslexic readers. Many families center eighth grade language arts around selections from this collection. If you’re unsure which books will both challenge and support your reader, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you curate a thoughtful list.
