Preorder now to take advantage of our fun preorder bonuses: We know how hard it can be to find lots of good books for middle grade readers, and so we wanted to supply young book lovers-and their parents-with LOTS of options in this book journal! The pages of My Reading Adventures are packed with curated book lists and more fun activities for young readers. The good news is this collection of summer break books is a special preview. These books are perfect for kids (or grown-ups!) to read while they’re also out of school, but if you don’t finish your chosen reads by the first day of school, no worries! These stories make excellent reading anytime you need a break. It’s the beginning of summer vacation for many young readers, and so today we wanted to share this list of “summer break books”-books that unfold over the course of a single summer (sometimes over the course of a single day!), portraying stories that could never happen were school in session. Today, with my publisher’s permission, I’m sharing one of the 20+ book lists for 8- to 12-year-old readers found in the pages of My Reading Adventures: A Book Journal for Kids.

And I can’t sit down and read a stack of adult novels in an afternoon, but I can have that thrilling experience thanks to the shorter page counts of middle grade books. As an adult reader, I find middle grade stories incredibly satisfying, especially right now: they’re attention-grabbing, emotionally resonant, and problems are typically resolved in a satisfying manner by the final page. It’s not that I’m a stranger to the genre. The past several years, as I’ve been working on My Reading Adventures: A Book Journal for Kids, I’ve had a wonderful “excuse” to explore all sorts of middle grade literature. Readers, something I especially enjoy about my work is that it leads me to explore all kinds of different books and genres.
