The BEST Middle-grade novels 

for a summer of adventure

    These are not just books you can read in the summer; these are books that ARE summer. Whether at camp, on an island, at sea, or just full of hi-jinx because no one is in school, each of these books will be so much fun for your child to enjoy this summer. As a bonus, each book is very different from each other book on the list, so there are so many different types of adventures to enjoy!! I hope you check them out!
