2 books by Melissa Stewart. Reading level: Grades 6.6–6.7. Middle Grades (Ages 9–12).
Series books grow with readers — but that's also the trap. Most series start at one reading level and one content intensity and drift upward over the course of the run. Rocks and Minerals (Heinemann) (2 books by Melissa Stewart) lands at reading level Grades 6.6–6.7, 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.
