In the ninth installment of our Facebook Live video series, Live From Our Library, Scholastic Librarian Deimosa Webber-Bey recommended books full of adventure, exploration, and discovery across all age bands. Your kids can travel to different worlds, discover hidden secrets, and take a wacky road trip without ever leaving their backyard. Plus, these action-packed titles encourage reading while school is out, helping your child avoid the dreaded summer slide. Take a look at our titles below.
