Sometimes kids finish a great book and start looking for another read that has a similar writing style– not a similar plot line. My 4th graders sniffed out some great “style-alikes” last year, and I came up with a few in my own reading. I’ve tried to put together a list with some of the favorites from my class this past year. The books on the list are roughly 4th through 6th grade reading level. As always, please add a title if you have a suggestion. I am always wanting to expand the library!
Epistolary was a new word for me this year. These are the books that are told through letters or journal entries.
These books contain riddles or puzzles that the reader is trying to solve along with the main characters.
In each chapter or section of the book, the narrator changes, so you get different viewpoints of the same story.
The authors of these books insert unusual vocabulary with definitions as part of the storyline. The authors may also create crazy words to support the story.
The protagonist is the smart, daring, resourceful character in these books and always comes out ahead of any adults or bad guys.
