Animal Farm by George Orwell

The animals on Manor Farm have had enough. Farmer Jones has been lazy, negligent, and just plain horrible at being a farmer. They think that everyone should be equal to each other. As they set up their new form of “government,” it becomes clear that they have merely gotten rid of a dictator for another oppressive ruler.

This book is often read for a class in middle or high school. It can be read in early middle school but the combination of abstract thinking and history that is hinted may make it difficult to understand for the young reader. If they have someone to read and explain, I think it would be successful!
