Newbery Authors Collection Books in Order
9 books by Martin Harry Greenberg, Charles Waugh. Reading level: Grades 4.5–6. Middle Grades (Ages 9–12).

Newbery Authors Collection (9 books by Martin Harry Greenberg, Charles Waugh) lands at reading level Grades 4.5–6, with average content intensity 1/5. Intensity stays consistent across the series — a kid who can handle the first book can generally handle the rest.
