Books you would recommend for students in upper elementary grades, generally chapter books or easier novels.
Typically voted on by 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders; however, it can be flexible and set by the person running the program at each site. (For instance, I run an intermediate school which houses 5th and 6th graders. I run the Intermediate level in this building because the books in this level are a better fit for this school vs the Middle level.)
