Kids are almost out for the summer. Make sure that they time to read this summer. There are so many great books out there. This blog contains a recommendation from me as well as links to two great literary resources.
I would like to take a moment to recommend a young adult book series call the Lunar Chronicles. There are four books in this series Cinder, Scarlett, Cress and Winter. These books are the retelling of fairy tales in a futuristic society. Instead on simpering princesses, we find strong female characters that vaguely resemble fairy tale creatures.... Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White. There is a ton of adventure and a little romance. This series would be great for 12 year olds and older. These books are longer, but don't let that deter you. They are quick reads for adults and easily accomplished by younger readers.
Think fairy tale meets Divergent. These books were recommended to me by my 13 year old fellow book aficionado, Frankie. She has her own vlog (video blog). If you have a young reader, I highly suggest that you follow her vlog. She has great recommendations. Subscribe now.... this girl knows what she is talking about.

Another great resource for picking great books.... my friend Katherine, a 5th grade teacher. She is always reading. So if you have a younger reader, check out her blog. A great resource.

Young adult books are great reads for adults too. Keep up to hate with what your kid is reading and get involved. Let the library be your friend. Have a great summer and happy reading!
50 is just the beginning.
