Well, you might look for one with simple language and clear storylines. Maybe a historical fiction that focuses on a child's perspective during the civil war, without too much violence or complex politics.
For fifth graders, a good civil war novel could be one that has engaging characters and teaches some important values. Something like a story about friendship and bravery in the midst of the war. It should have vivid descriptions but not be too overwhelming with details.
You should start with a simple and engaging plot. Make the story easy to understand and have relatable characters. Use simple language and keep it fun!

As a well-known children's literature author, Bi Shumin's works were suitable for readers of different ages. If a fifth grader wants to read Bi Shumin's work, I suggest you start with I Am a Cat. It's a fable about the growth of a girl named Cat. The story is simple and easy to understand, suitable for fifth grade students to read, and at the same time, it can let them feel the deep thoughts and touching emotions in Bi Shumin's works.
For third graders, a short story about animals having adventures or a friendly competition could be interesting. It should have an easy-to-follow plot and not be too complex.
