A Hogwarts Reading List : Books for Teens in Gryffindor

Last summer, I did a special series on the ALSC blog where I highlighted books tweens would like based off of their Harry Potter Hogwart's house. Harry Potter is such a special series because people of all ages can enjoy it. With that in mind, I wanted to share my teen version of this series! 

 Gryffindors have always had a great reputation. Harry, Hermione, and Ron are all in this house. Need I say more? Gryffindors are known to be courageous, honest, and brave. They are daring and tend to root for the underdog who bravely does what they need to do.

People in this house tend to enjoy reading books with characters who have the same qualities and usually enjoy plot-driven page-turners that center around the hero’s tale or survival stories. They tend to gravitate toward books that are a series so they can watch the character grow and develop from underdog to hero.

Here are a PDF of a few of my favorite teen books books for Gryffindors. Feel free to print this out and use it for reader's advisory or for display purposes.
