This is one of the most frequently recommended first novels for Spanish learners. It was the first book that I read in Spanish, and I found it very doable!

Wonder - La lección de August
Children's book
Level 30??
I read this very early on and was blown away by how easy it was! The chapters are also very short, which is helpful when you have low stamina for reading.

This is the first novel I ever read in Spanish, when I was around A2-B1. Content stays pretty simple, but the story is interesting nonetheless. You can ignore the current level, it's off.
