![]() ![]() Go HERE to see book series ideas for 6th graders. Go HERE to find all of my book recommendations for 12-year-olds. What do you think? Which of these books would your seventh grader want to read first? Book series are not as common for the upper middle school reading choices like they are for younger middle-grade choices. I think part of the issue is coming of age, realistic books generally are one-and-done. That being said, I realize there are many more fantasy and sci-fi books than in other genres, so I will continue to add to this 7th grade reading list as I find more exceptional books in other genres. These are not book series that start great and lose quality by the 2nd or 3rd book - these are the best book series that STAY good throughout the entire series. ![]() Looking for the vest 7th grade books in a series for your 12-year-old middle school kids or students in 7th grade?

In most cartoons, they were shown in the rain, mud, and other dire conditions, while they contemplated the whole situation. He extended the bristles on their faces and the eyes – "too old for those young bodies", as Mauldin put it – showed how much Willie and Joe suffered. They gradually became darker and more realistic in their depiction of the weariness of the enduring miseries of war. Mauldin was sent to combat, influencing his cartoons. Near the end of 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the USA entered World War II. He cartooned part-time for the camp newspaper. ![]() ![]() Mauldin was an 18-year-old soldier training with the 45th Infantry Division in 1940.

Curiously, though, the world depicted in Free Culture is at odds with Lessig's dystopian vision, for it is a vibrant place where technological innovation, creative endeavors, and public discussion of political issues flourish. Lessig maintains that what we face is akin to an environmental crisis, with the crucial difference being that cultural rather than physical resources are under siege. In Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity, Lawrence Lessig warns that the health of the "environment of creativity" has been endangered by the combination of changes in intellectual property law, increased concentration of media ownership and transformations in technology. ![]() ![]()
