What should I read this summer?
Kids, I've included some high interest, age appropriate books here in case you've started to wonder about which books you'll read during those lazy summer days that aren't too far away! Parents, "Common Sense Media" is an awesome site that rates the age appropriateness of books and all sorts of media. If you're wondering if a book is appropriate for your child, you can try seeing what "Common Sense Media" has to say about it! Happy Reading!
