Ultimate Chapter Book Series List

My oldest is a very advanced and very passionate reader! Reading is her biggest hobby and she has been devouring chapter books. A few months ago, she had read through everything we own and was ready for some new series.

She and I hopped online and scoured the internet for fun series for her. We ended up with a huge list of ones at our library and we started making our way through them.

If you've been here awhile, you know we are very selective about the books we let into our home. You can read more about that HERE. Some series did not make it onto our list but many did!

This huge list of chapter book series are books that are wholesome, clean, and I was comfortable with my daughter reading. Note: These were acceptable for our home, make sure to view them to see if they are a good fit for your family.

We hope you benefit from reading these fun series in your home! I did my best to rank them in order of easiest level to hardest level. You will also find a link to purchase them online. Most of them are linked to a box set because they are cheaper that way but you can also click on the link to find individual books within that series. Don't forget to check your local library too!
