The Best Books for Third-graders Recommendation (part2)

I am getting ready for Third Grade. I want to be prepared with a list of the best-recommended books for third-graders. It will be my fifth year at Monticello Academy, and I love the reading programs there. We have read-a-thon each year and Reading logs with awards monthly or quarterly. Did I share that I love reading? I do! I am exposed to many different levels and genres, fiction and non-fiction, so I will write a standard list of books for the third-graders below.
