In this video I’m sharing an Amazon book haul for our upcoming fifth grade homeschool reading list. I walk you through the titles I picked, why they made the cut, and how I’m thinking about balancing fun reads with books that still feel “school-ish” in the best way. If you’re building a 5th grade book stack and you want ideas that are engaging, solid quality, and actually readable for this age, this haul is for you. I’m featuring Hello Universe, Swiss Family Robinson, Mona Lisa Vanishes, and Beyond the Bright Sea—four very different vibes, which is exactly how I like to plan our reading year. I also link my Amazon storefront and a few of my favorite resources for planning and book shopping, because I’m always trying to keep homeschool simple and doable. And yes—while my channel is Wig HAIRapy and I’m usually in wig and hair loss land, this is still me: real life, mom life, and what’s working for our homeschool right now.
