Finding the right book is a challenge for many kids. It can be especially hard for advanced readers who are capable of reading significantly above their grade level. Students in fourth or fifth grade who can read at a seventh, eighth, or even high school level may gravitate toward the latest young adult sensation - think The Fault in Our Stars, If I Stay, or Twilight. But just because these kids have the ability to read these books, it doesn't mean they necessarily should.

Here are twelve books recommended as "must reads" by advanced fourth and fifth grade readers on Bookopolis.com, an online community of young readers. These stories are engaging, thought-provoking, and encourage young readers to learn more about the world - all in an age-appropriate manner. Plus, they're great reads for adults, too. Read along with your young reader and help them dig deeper by making connections from the books they read to current events, history, and their own lives.

Does your reader love books full of complex characters and thought-provoking themes? Do they get excited when they discover a "really thick" book they haven't read yet? Do they want to be challenged but deeply immersed in a great story? It can be difficult for 10-, 11-, and 12-year-old readers who read at a high school (or higher) level to find books that meet their reading needs but are still appropriate for their age and experience. For readers like this, I worry less about what Lexile or Guided Reading level a specific book is and look for stories that will offer them a chance to go deeper in their thinking about characters and situations.

Here are 14 books that are loved by young readers on Bookopolis.com that offer unique character voices, complex plots and themes, and high page counts to engage fifth and sixth-grade advanced readers.

Fantasy & Science Fiction

by Susan Beth Pfeffer, read by Emily Bauer

Available in audiobook format and written as a journal, this dystopian story explores what would happen if a meteor entered our solar system and disrupted the natural world as we know it. Miranda and her family worry about survival as summer quickly turns into winter, and they must live on the food they have stockpiled. Adriana, 12, was hooked right away. "It pulled me in like a fish on a pole! This book makes you want to keep reading for years! I would recommend this great book to anyone that likes nerve-wracking mysteries and sad, emotion-filled stories."

Mysteries & Realistic Fiction

by Steve Sheinkin, read by Mark Bramhall

This audiobook offers a fascinating look at the history of football told through the experiences of superstar player Jim Thorpe and legendary coach Pop Warner. They created one of the best-known teams at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. It examines details about the genius of their strategic plays and hard work and takes a critical look at the persecution and exploitation of Native Americans during this time period. Beck, 10, shares, "This book was very interesting and really challenged me as a reader."
