Book Recommendations for Pre-Teens
Mousenet

Young Megan helped her father create the thumbtop-a laptop for mice! Now the secret mice nation wants the technology for their world.

Darth Paper Strikes Back: An Origami Yoda Book (B&N Exclusive Edition)
By Tom Angleberger
At first, things look bad for Dwight in this sequel to The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. Harvey has convinced the powers-that-be to suspend his classmate as an incorrigible troublemaker, but his friends rush to his aid. A Barnes & Noble Exclusive that middle-schoolers won’t forget.
NG Kids Ultimate Weird but True: 1,000 Wild & Wacky Facts and Photos
By National Geographic
Don’t underestimate the power of stranger than fiction facts. Those wild, wacky facts serve as gateways into children’s interest in history, science, the animal world, and dozens of other pertinent topics. No one on earth does better at collecting eyebrow-raising trivia than the good folks at National Geographic. This inexpensively priced large-format hardcover gathers no fewer than 1,000 mind-boggling facts, bound to ensnare the attention of not only kids, but also their parents. The grand compendium of universal weirdness is presented in 200 themed spreads illustrated with 500 photos. Hours and hours of family fun.
Tuesdays at the Castle 
By Jessica Day George
Tuesdays at Castle Glower are Princess Celie’s favorite days. That’s because on Tuesdays the castle adds a new room, a turret, or sometimes even an entire wing. No one ever knows what the castle will do next, and no one-other than Celie, that is-takes the time to map out the new additions. But when King and Queen Glower are ambushed and their fate is unknown, it’s up to Celie, with her secret knowledge of the castle’s never-ending twists and turns, to protect their home and save their kingdom. This delightful book from a fan- and bookseller-favorite kicks off a brand-new series sure to become a modern classic.
The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning Series #1)
John Stephens
The perfect fit for readers 8-12 looking for the next big series! A great read for fans of Brandon Mull or Rick Riordian. Featuring a wonderfully crafted balance of adventure, humor, and incredible imagination, John Stephens debuts his first book in an exciting new series. Three children bounced from orphanage to orphanage, never aware of the incredible danger lurking just around the corner, and the remarkable role they will play in changing history, and setting things right, until now! Magic, mayhem, and an ancient prophecy- a recipe for a fantastic read.
