It is hard to believe that it is May!!! Every year I compile a summer reading list for families. By no means is this a perfect list. I did notice that there are more books for older middle grade and middle school. My wish is that I could have a lot of these so the kids could select a couple to take home for the summer. However, finding funding for this is very difficult. If you want to suggest books as well I know families will love that. Have a fantastic summer of reading.
