Hand-picked Action Books for 6-year-olds

Action at six is first-chapter-book territory — big chases, narrow escapes and heroes who leap before they look. Our shelf is built for readers just finding their speed: short chapters that race, cliffhangers that pull, and wins a six-year-old can cheer for. Each one hand-picked by Hannah, a former English teacher.
