Some of the best boarding school books for kids are those written by J. K. Rowling, which capture the boarding school community’s spirit. For older children, books like The Secret Language and Luvvy and the Girls are great reads to introduce them to the idea of life away from home. They also capture the feeling of loneliness that comes with attending a boarding school. But what to read for your child? Here are some tips:

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

If you want to keep your ten-year-old interested in Greek mythology, you can get them hooked on Percy Jackson and the Olympians. These books feature a 12-year-old boy who becomes a hero through the adventures of the Greek god Percy Jackson. The first book, The Lightning Thief, features Percy’s origin story, which combines with his first quest as a hero. In less than 400 pages, Percy Jackson goes from being the worst kid at school to a full-fledged hero with wits and brains.

The second book, Sea of Monsters, introduces a new demigod character named Thalia Grace. Thalia is a fifteen-year-old demigod and a friend of Percy Jackson. She has electric blue eyes and black clothes. She is described as being independent and sarcastic. Her betrayal by Luke makes her even more angry, but she ultimately ends up helping Percy to save his friend.

Luvvy and the Girls

Those looking for a fun book to read during your child’s summer holidays will be delighted by Luvvy and the Girls, a novel by Natalie Savage Carlson. The novel follows the life of twelve-year-old Luvvy, a spirited, independent girl. She attends a finishing school in France with her two half-sisters, one older and the other younger. She soon realizes that everyone is crazy – except for her! The end of this novel sees her finding a way to fix the tragic events that happen at the school.

The novel is a fascinating look at the life of a convent boarding school, and will captivate readers of all ages. Children love a good story about good girls being treated badly, and Luvvy has a particular knack for writing about the problems faced by girls at such schools. Although many young readers may not be familiar with boarding schools in the United States, the unique characters in these novels make them a compelling read.

The Secret Language

“The Secret Language” is a story of two girls – Martha and Victoria – who meet at an alternative boarding school. Though they are both in the same year of middle school, they are not exactly the same. Martha tells her roommate, Victoria, secrets about her life. Eventually, the two become good friends and even build a hut. But how did they become friends?

Looking for Alaska

Looking for Alaska is a great novel for a young adult audience. This coming-of-age story follows an introspective junior who becomes obsessed with the last words of famous people. While he is at a boarding school, he meets a new student named Alaska, who is incredibly expressive and unpredictable. The two become best friends, and the story revolves around how the ten-year-old learns to navigate the labyrinth that is life.

If you want to give your ten-year-old a realistic look at a boarding school, consider Looking for Alaska by John Green. This contemporary young adult novel has sex, drinking, and sneaking out. It is one of the best books of the year and is highly rated. As it follows Miles, his friends, and his teachers, he learns what life is really like in a boarding school. He also develops a romance with Alaska Young, who later dies in a drunk driving accident.
