Books for 9th Grade

Our Books for 9th Grade collection highlights titles that help teens around ages 14–15 transition into more mature reading. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular fiction and nonfiction—including classics, contemporary novels, memoir, biography, and narrative nonfiction—chosen for both engagement and depth. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, age-appropriateness, and inclusive representation, with notes on heavier themes so you can choose what fits your family. Use the filters to explore by genre, subject tie-in (history, science, social issues, coming-of-age), reading level, and themes such as identity, friendship, justice, or mental health. You can also filter for audio-friendly or high-interest options that tend to work well for ADHD or dyslexic readers. Many families base ninth grade English and humanities around books from this collection. If you’re unsure which titles will best serve your teen, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you create a customized reading list.
