How do I search for books for a certain age group. When I put in YA or ages it brings up text books and such. I don't know authors. I have a little free library and looking for some books in higher age groups, I'm loaded with toddler books

You could search "chapter books"; or when you do a genre search for children's books you can do a second genre for ages "4-8" or "9-12".

You could also look for Magic Tree House, Captain Underpants; Amelia Bedelia, Arthur, Cam Jansen, Junie B Jones are some of the series I can think of. But this age group loves nonfiction too.

Rush Limbaugh had an American History series with each book about a famous patriot, appropriate for 3rd to 5th graders I think. 
--for early readers try Dr Suess too.
