SHORT Fun Middle Grade Books (16 books)

Listopia > SHORT Fun Middle Grade Books

This list is for SHORT Fun and middle grade books. Short as in less than 23,000 words. You can check out book length here: https://www.readinglength.com/. This list is for kids who struggle with longer books - or for people looking for a shorter book for a car trip or a book that can be read aloud in a few nights. At a typical reading speed (250 words per minute) the longest books on the list should take 95 minutes to read. This list is in honour of my grandparents who live 95 minutes away.
