A Boy Called Bat by Elana K. Arnold was a huge hit in one of my second grade classrooms
last year.
Another second grade loved
Strongheart: Wonder Dog of the Silver Screen by Candace Fleming. The first couple of chapters were difficult to hear but once the teacher got past the beginning the kids were enthralled.

Hi! I’m looking to put together a list of some more current chapter book read-alouds for K-2 classrooms. Every teacher I polled says they read Charlotte’s Web, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, My Father’s Dragon, etc. The most current literature was The Giants and the Joneses by Julia Donaldson (2004).
Can you suggest some other amazing chapter books to read aloud to K-2 students that was written this century?
Thanks,
Karen
