The Ultimate Middle School Summer Reading List

Jul 25, 2023

Summer is the perfect opportunity for your middle schooler to dive into page-turners that pique their unique interests.

One of the best ways to keep kids reading this summer is by exposing them to a variety of series. Popular picks include the intriguing Wings of Fire series and the beloved The Baby-Sitters Club. Engaging chapter books and graphic novels will keep your growing reader entertained all summer long while improving their reading comprehension skills

For another read that will have your middle schooler immersed in a book all summer long, check out the riveting Legends of Lotus Island #1: The Guardian Test. When Young Plum is accepted to the Guardian Academy she must learn how to embrace her inner power to change the world. This action-packed book also has great lessons about self-discovery and friendship
