Is there a fictional family that’s near to your heart? Does your child enjoy books featuring families and their hijinks? This list is for you!
This list contains middle grade books about what we call “quirky family shenanigans.” Some of these books are mystery, while others are realistic fiction or contain some fantastical element, and some are brand new releases while others are classics.
