good realistic fiction books for 9th graders

As a 9th grader, exploring different genres of books can be both exciting and rewarding. If you are specifically interested in realistic fiction, there are numerous engaging options available. Realistic fiction novels aim to depict stories that reflect the everyday lives and experiences of characters, providing readers with relatable and authentic narratives. Here are some fantastic choices that you might enjoy:

1. "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas: This powerful and thought-provoking novel explores themes of race, identity, and social justice through the eyes of Starr Carter, a 16-year-old girl who becomes the sole witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed Black friend by a police officer.

2. "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio: This heartwarming story follows August Pullman, a young boy with facial differences, as he navigates the challenges of starting fifth grade at a mainstream school. It beautifully explores themes of empathy, kindness, and acceptance.

3. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee: A classic piece of literature, this novel delves into important themes such as racial inequality, injustice, and the loss of innocence. Set in the 1930s, it tells the story of Scout Finch, a young girl in a small Southern town, and her father, Atticus, who defends an innocent Black man accused of rape.

4. "The Giver" by Lois Lowry: Set in a dystopian society where sameness prevails, this captivating tale follows Jonas as he is chosen to be the Receiver of Memory. It explores themes of individuality, freedom, and the importance of emotions.

5. "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak: Narrated by Death, this gripping story takes place in Nazi Germany and follows Liesel Meminger, a young girl who finds solace in stealing books and sharing them with others amid the horrors of World War II.

When looking for more book recommendations, you can explore online platforms such as Goodreads (www.goodreads.com) where you'll find curated lists and reviews from fellow readers. Additionally, your school or local library can be a valuable resource for finding reading lists specifically tailored to your grade level.
