If You Liked This Book, Try This One

Midnight for Charlie Bone

by Jenny Nimmo

The Harry Potter pairing. A boy discovers he can hear voices inside old photographs and gets sent to an academy full of strangely gifted children. Carly couldn't put the first book down and read well into the night to finish it. Can't wait to start the next.

A Rover's Story

by Jasmine Warga

The Wild Robot pairing. Same short chapter structure, same premise (a machine learning to feel), more advanced reading level than Wild Robot. Natural next step up when a kid is ready for something bigger.

Raymie Nightingale

by Kate DiCamillo

The Bridge to Terabithia pairing. A perfect Kate DiCamillo. Heavy and lovely, the kind of book that makes you love reading and the world and the good and even the hard things in life and how they all come together. Carly: 'I will never get over it.' Do NOT tag DiCamillo (no Instagram per standing protocol) — name-mention only.

The Queen in the Cave

by Júlia Sardà

The Where the Wild Things Are pairing. Picture books are not just for little kids. Sardà's illustrations are the kind you stop to stare at.
