In this chatty video, I’m sharing more of Brenna’s 7th grade book reviews—real, honest thoughts from a middle schooler who’s reading a lot and learning what she likes (and what she doesn’t). We talk through the kinds of stories that keep her turning pages, what made certain books stand out, and how we’re thinking about books not just as “school,” but as part of our homeschool life and the conversations we want to have as a family. If you’re trying to build a solid 7th grade reading list, this is the kind of review style that helps you decide what’s actually a good fit. I also included an end-of-video bonus with B’s book rules—basically the little guidelines she’s figured out that make reading more enjoyable and help her choose books better. This is especially helpful if you’ve got a reader who’s in that in-between stage: not a little kid anymore, but still needs some direction with content, interest level, and what’s worth their time. If you love homeschool book chat, want ideas for 7th grade reads, and enjoy hearing a kid’s perspective (with my mom commentary sprinkled in), you’ll feel right at home here.
