165+ Tween Books that you can Read for free on Kindle Unlimited
19.04.2023Did you know that there are a ton of really awesome middle-grade books that you can read for free on Kindle Unlimited? In fact, I think there are even more books for tweens than there are for adults, at least in terms of big titles from well-known authors. In some cases, you can read the entire series as part of your membership. In most, though, you only get the first book and have to buy (or borrow from a library) the rest. Still, it’s a great way to try a new author or series risk-free. If you don’t like it, no problem. Return it and try another! Below are some of my favorite Kindle Unlimited books for tweens. I’ve included big-name authors as well as some indies that you might not have heard of. Just a few very quick notes before we dive in.

Second, Kindle Unlimited titles change constantly. Everything on this list is accurate as of today. I tried to stick to titles that I’ve consistently seen on KU over the last few years, and I’ll check back frequently to keep this as up-to-date as possible. If you don’t already have Kindle Unlimited, check out the different plans here. They almost always have some sort of deal running. Right now, I have it for $30 for 6 months. Sometimes I get offers for free months if I unsubscribe for a while. I am pretty sure they also have free trials for those who have never subscribed (I can’t see any right now since I’m currently subscribed). Last note, I swear. I broke this into sections. The first section, with the book covers, are kind of my «top picks» overall. I tried to include something from every genre. The books in the second section are equally great, though.
I switched over to a list format for those. 😀 I think that about covers it. Let’s kick things off with my all-time favorite middle-grade reads, shall we? The entire Harry Potter series is available on Kindle Unlimited pretty much always. I have all of the books in hardcover, but sometimes it’s just easier for me to read on my Kindle (better lighting, like I said, aging eyes and all). I re-read the books once a year and I’ve never not seen them on KU, so I don’t think they’re going anywhere soon. Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is actually what inspired me to write this post. I was really in the mood to re-read this series but I gave the hardcover books to my younger cousin years ago. I went to see how much they were on Kindle and saw that all 5 books were available on KU.
Magnus Chase and Sneaker Don spotlight 29 — http://solitaryisle.shop — the Gods of Asgard (just the first book). The Son of Sobek — this one is a short crossover story between Percy Jackson and the Kane Chronicles. The Rick Riordan Presents imprint publishes authors from underrepresented cultures. They all have a very similar writing style to Riordan. So if your tweens enjoy his books there’s a very good chance they’ll like these stories as well. Yoon Ha Lee’s genre-bending Dragon Pearl combines Korean mythology with science fiction by setting the story in outer space. While you can only read the first book for free and it does have a sequel, it’s actually a standalone novel. In other words, no cliffhanger. All three of Tolkein’s classic Lord of the Rings books are available on KU, along with their prelude book, The Hobbit. Amazon lists the age range for the series as 13-18, but I read them when I was 12. So, they’re kind of right there on the cusp between tween and teen books.
