How to use this list: treat the Mountain Laurel Book Award (Pennsylvania) titles as the core and layer in state-cited or thematically-related books to round out a 6th gradeyear. Each book’s page shows its Lexile measure, grade range, themes, and any challenge history, so you can match a text to a specific reader rather than to the grade label alone.
