Middle School
Middle school is the band everybody skips, and it is where most families get scared. Pre-algebra shows up, writing gets graded on argument instead of neatness, and your child stops wanting to be read to. Almost every homeschool catalog thins out right here. This one does not.
How to use it: one math book, ninety minutes of real work a day, and reading that respects them. A twelve-year-old who reads The Hunger Games in two days is telling you exactly what school should look like this year. Give them the series, then give them the books it was built from, and the literature takes care of itself.
The whole year on one shelf: 6th, 7th, 8th. For the reader: The Series Reader and The Hunger Games Shelf.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
The Wizard of Oz And Other Wonderful Books of Oz (The Emerald City of Oz and Glinda of Oz)
Maker Comics: Build a Robot!
- Engineering & Technology
- Physics & Energy
- Comics / Graphic Narrative
Why it works: An evil-toaster comedy assigns the reader six increasingly varied robots to build while the comic plot promises world domination. Motors, alarms, lights, sensors, and remote control become the mechanisms of both the projects and the joke, so engineering is learned by making.
The Martian; Classroom Edition
- Astronomy & Space
- Chemistry & Materials
- Story / Adventure
Why it works: After a dust storm leaves Mark Watney stranded on Mars, every chapter becomes a new calculation, test, repair, or resource decision. The survival thriller makes chemistry, crop production, engineering, and planetary constraints matter because an incorrect assumption can cost the protagonist his life.
