All titles available at my local library. Plenty, plenty more than the ones listed here. If one is wondering what criteria was used for this list, Google AI... "A children's novel is generally categorized as a long-form fictional book written for children aged 8-12, often referred to as Middle Grade novels. According to Jericho Writers, the average word count for a novel for children is between 30,000 and 50,000 words. Children's novels typically have a complete story arc with a beginning, middle, and end. They may include subplots. Characters are often well-developed and relatable, with clear motivations and internal struggles. Themes are age-appropriate and often revolve around issues faced by children, such as friendship, family, school, and personal growth. While some children's novels may include occasional illustrations, they are less reliant on them than picture books. The narrative often reflects a child's point of view and experiences."
