Getting your kids to read--a perpetual battle, right? Your goal, then, is to always find the next excellent ebook in a genre they will love to read. And, what is better than finding ebooks for them that they can read on their electronic devices, such as their phones, Kindles or Nooks? Authors in our Children's and Middle Grade genre want to help you with your kids, and they want to help you with your budget, too. They will always offer their ebooks to you for free or discounted.
Definition of the "Children's and Middle Grade Genre": Children who are reading these ebooks are still at the stage of their life where they are focused inward. They are figuring themselves out (a process that shouldn't stop just because we grow older), and so they focus what they want to read on that stage of their lives. While characters in the Children's and Middle Grade genre grow during the stories, the growth is internal by nature. Ebooks in this genre typically focus on friendship, as children are working out what it makes to be a responsible friend to others, and what they look for in friends themselves.
Some bestselling ebooks in the Children's and Middle Grade genre are Katherine Applegate (The One and Only Ivan), R.J. Palacio (Wonder), Jacqueline Woodson (Brown Girl Dreaming), and Sharon Draper (Out of My Mind).
This superb book's message is to respect and love yourself- no matter what. Everyone is worthy of being loved. Acceptance of self is so important, and at times hard. The important question many ask is- am I good enough? This book answers that question with an unqualified YES! Diversity should be respected and everyone should be accepted for who they are. It feels so good to hear someone say, "I believe in you." It is a matter of high importance to believe in yourself. This is a great book for teaching children about self-esteem. Children will love this story and find it relatable. This fun book for ages 3-9 teaches children about how to appreciate what they already have instead of being jealous of what others have. Children will enjoy being reminded to choose themselves instead of wishing to be like someone else. The concepts are taught in a simple and direct way that children can understand. It is a serious theme that is taught in a delightful manner. It is fun to view the illustrations and read about the characters in this meaningful book about self-esteem and appreciation. It is a great message for all children and well worth discussing with them. It is important to teach children about character building, and to reinforce the concept of acceptance of self and of others, and of self worth. It is a profound theme that is told in a captivating and humorous way.

What Will You See When You Look into The Pond of Reflection?
Content in her father’s wise kingdom, Princess Journee loves life but has one nagging question: Who is she? Yes, she is a mouse and a princess, but who is she really? With her adventurous spirit and her father’s mighty steed to protect her, she goes on a quest to find herself.
The adventure takes an interesting turn when she befriends a toad and an owl who tell her about a legendary Pond of Reflection known to reveal one's true identity. But first they must find it, if indeed it exists. Their friendship and appreciation for each other grow as they encounter difficulties along the way, and strange happenings in the ancient Whoami Forest.
This adventure story is inspired by the Biblical Proverb 27:19 (NIV) and communicates the moral that identity and self-worth spring from heart and character (inside-out), thus sincere friendship can happen regardless of how different outward appearance may be (outside-in).

Has a child ever asked you how to pray or what to pray about?
Pray! What Do I Say? helps answer those questions. If you are talking to God, you are praying, and praying is one of the most important things we can do. The Bible tells us God hears our prayers and responds to our needs. There are many parts to prayer, but most importantly, we want our children to understand that their prayers are unique to them. Prayer is simply a conversation with our Heavenly Father.
Pray! What Do I Say? looks at prayer in more depth while using kid-friendly language to explain the purpose and potential of prayer. These devotionals are designed for children, offering age-appropriate content and relevant reflection activities.
Dive into the daily devotionals with your child or someone you love. Join the conversations as we teach our children the importance of this spiritual discipline and how prayer can be part of their everyday lives. Devotionals include discussion points, journaling opportunities, and prayer prompts. Jesus modeled prayer for us in the New Testament, and this book begins with His example, The Lord’s Prayer.

Discover the power of courage, resilience, and self-discovery in this heartwarming must-read that's sure to captivate young minds.
An excerpt from The Claustrophobic Gopher:
“Hurry, hurry, GJ, we’re not safe until we’re underground.”
“But Mommy.”
“Please realize how dangerous it is for gophers. Bigger animals want to eat us, and the mean gardener sets traps to catch us.”
“But Mommy.”
“Here, now quickly, down our gopher hole.”
“But, Mommy, our home is so dark and tight. Why can’t I stay outside? I want to breathe the fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun!”
“No more buts unless it is your little butt in front of me running down the hole. Now!”
Once safely inside, Mommy plugs the hole, and they are safe. She loves her little tunnel home. It is right below a vegetable garden and, in fact, some of the vegetables actually grow down into their front tunnel. Often as Mommy or GJ crawl through the tunnel, they take a bite of a carrot, a beet or potato. They call it ‘tuber eats.’
A wonderful adventure that everyone from middle graders to adults will enjoy!
Enter a world of Magic and Adventure full of remarkable creatures and breathtaking beauty. But there is danger, too. Can Jack and his friends defeat the forces of darkness and prevent the return of the Tyrant King?
“A darkness is creeping into the Faewald. Trolls, ogres, and goblins have descended from the high passes of the Dragon’s Teeth Mountains. Drek war parties dare to raid our borders, sometimes in the company of jackalwytes."
Jack Sawyer is a skinny boy, undersized, and as graceful as a giraffe on roller skates. Unnoticed by everyone at Stoneybrook Middle School, except for a trio of bullies and a few fellow misfits, Jack trudges through the school year like it’ a prison sentence.
Jack knows many things, like the names of all the state capitals and how to tell an agate from a plain old rock. But there’s much he doesn’t know. For example, he doesn’t know how to shoot sparks by snapping his fingers or ride a galloping horse through the mud and over fences. And he really doesn’t know how to hurl a spear, wield a sword, or track mythical creatures through a magical forest.
But that all changes when one day he discovers he can somehow levitate a basketball and send it flying around the school gymnasium. That’s when he feels the Quickening, and with it a whole new world opens up for him. To harness his new abilities, Jack must go to Ranger Academy in a magical place called the Midwald where he spends the whole summer concocting potions, racing horses, tracking fierce creatures, and battling monsters.
It will be the summer of a lifetime - if he survives.

An excerpt from Ursula, A Yosemite Bear:
Ursula opens her eyes. She stares at the ceiling of the cave where she’s been hibernating with Mommy and Daddy since early December. She wants to get up and explore but Mommy’s arm is across her body. While Ursula wonders how to wiggle out without waking her parents, she notices a drop of water forming on the ceiling.
This is something new. Where is the water coming from? The drop gets bigger and bigger until it lets go and plops right on Daddy’s ear. His ear twitches and Ursula hears a faint tinkling from the plastic tag on his left ear.
She thinks back to the day in October when Daddy came home with the tag and how sad Mommy was. Ursula told Mommy that she wanted a tag too but that made Mommy even more upset.
As Ursula lies in bed, other memories from last year come back to her. She recalls how much fun she had with her friends swimming in the Merced River, playing with the butterflies in Yosemite’s meadows, and stealing food from the tourists.
As she thinks about her friends and wonders how they are, another drop of water forms. This time it drops right into Daddy’s ear. His ear twitches, the tag tinkles and Daddy groans and turns over. His turn squeezes Mommy who then shifts and moves her arm. Ursula is free! She slips out of the bed.
