A while back, I came across an interesting comparison of two middle school reading lists \\u2014 one from 1908 and one from a bit more than 100 years later. The original article compared the lists based on time period, thematic elements, and reading level, and I\'ll share that comparison along with a few ideas for interesting middle-grade reading.
