25+ of the Best Chapter Book Series For Kids

Whether you have a voracious reader who turns pages faster than you bring books home or are looking to start a real aloud series with your family, you, my friend, have come to the right place! Today we will look at more than 25 of the best chapter book series I know your family is sure to love.

So dust off that library card, or open your Amazon shopping cart, because today we will be adding a plethora of new titles to your TBR (to be read) pile!

As a homeschool family, we love books, and our house reflects that. With bookshelves in nearly every room, including hallways, there’s always a new title to explore. Whether they are easy readers, rhyming books, or chapter books, there’s no reason not to have something to read.

And while it’s always exciting to read a book, diving into extended adventures with the same characters through a book series is always a win!

The Appeal of a Chapter Book Series

There’s something about getting to know a character and watching them grow through an undeniably captivating chapter book series.

Sure, some authors challenge your idea of which direction a character should go, but let’s face it, we all love a good twist. And what better way to take a character through multiple twists and turns than to follow them through a series of chapter books spanning years or even decades?

Homeschool With Chapter Book Series

While using books in our homeschool is one of our favorite ways to learn, there are many times we read just one book from a chapter book series. After, the kids are free to decide if they’d like to continue.

I know many homeschoolers enjoy using a multi-book series for their school read-alouds, (with many choosing to finish the entire thing) but in our home, we find that reading just one of two in the series is plenty for us.

Often, however, I do catch the kids devouring the rest of the series on their own.

Captivating Chapter Book Series You Don’t Want To Miss!

Here it is.

The opportunity to embark on literary adventures.

The chance to explore, travel, and learn about far-off places without ever leaving home.

And the gift of the imagination-sparking-power of a good chapter book series.

Each chapter book series here unfolds a world of wonder whether you are exploring magical realms of fantasy, following along with heartwarming tales of friendship, or discovering old stories in a new way.

Join young heroes in quests, solve mysteries alongside some amazing duos, and navigate the challenges of growing up.

All without leaving your home!

Please note: this list of must-read chapter book series for children is listed alphabetically. I figure this is the best way to share since I couldn’t pick favorites (we love soo many of the series represented here!)

Plus, this will make it super easy for you to peruse the list for your favorite chapter book series and for me to update this post in the future as we find new chapter book series we love.
