Young Reader’s Gift Giving Guide: 2025

Hi, friends!

I wanted to pop in here and give you some suggestions—a “gift giving guide,” if you will—for the young reader in your life. Do you have a child, grandchild, or the child of a family friend that you’d like to gift a book, but aren’t sure which ones are good? Well, I’ve definitely got some suggestions! (And don’t worry—I won’t only be suggesting my own stories hehe).

Let’s get onto some suggestions! Some show up in multiple categories if they fit that category, just so you can see what fits your potential young reader the best without having to read through every section if you’re not interested. So, if you see doubles, don’t worry about it. It’s intentional! 

For the reader that’s 8-12

For the reader that’s 12+

For the reader that’s 16+

For the young reader that loves fantasy

For the young reader that loves illustrations

For the young reader that wants to be a writer

Well, I think that’s all I have for you this year! Let me know if you have any questions about these titles—I’d be happy to give some more information/feedback if you’re not sure if the story is the right fit for your young reader.

Blessings,

Julia
