Short books/readers for Level 1 Spanish
I teach middle school Spanish 1. We are currently looking for short books/readers that are good for those students who have completed/nearly completed Spanish 1. Any suggestions? I will take ANY suggestions but specifically something basic that is 30-50 pages long. Gracias!

The kids in Spain are really into the Gerónimo Stilton series right now, which are about 30 pages each. It's about a second/third grade level for native speakers.
They're also into Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Diario de Greg), but that's longer than 30 pages. Still, there are a LOT of pictures, so I'm mentioning it because maybe it's not really functionally longer than 30 pages.
Junie B. Jones is also an option. It's first or second grade level (and my third grader DEFINITELY thinks they're too babyish now) but my guess is a lot of your students remember reading them in elementary school, and maybe it would be fun to try them in Spanish.
That's all I can think of right now from what my third grade daughter is reading. My older daughter is in middle school, but obviously that's not going to help you.
