Kid’s Summer Reading Guide

Natalie Langston

BY:

School’s Out… Reading’s In! Summer is the best time to get lost in a new book that will take you through countless journeys to places near and far and even imagined. It’s a great chance to immerse yourself in some of your favourite titles instead of being forced to read yet another boring textbook.

I worked with the experts at IndigoKids to create a list of some of our favourites for you to take with you the next time you head to the beach. We made sure to include titles that will challenge, delight and inspire kids of all ages.

Summer’s Hottest Books

  1. The Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan – Fan Favourite!!
  2. The Misadventures of Max Crumbly: Locker Hero by Rachel Renée Russell
  3. The BFG by Roald Dahl
  4. Dragon Masters#6 by Tracey West
  5. Geronimo Stilton and the Kingdom of Fantasy #8: The Hour of Magic by Geronimo Stilton

Often over the summer most kids for one reason or another don’t read as much, maybe because  of sports activities, family holidays and outings or having out with friends.
