Summer Reading Suggestions

Hello and happy summer!
I hope all is well and that you are enjoying your time away from school!


I've put together some titles of books you may want to check out this summer.  Remember, this is not the only way to hear about a good book.  Your local librarians, friends and siblings can always get you hooked on a book or series.  Be open to trying something you wouldn't normally read!
Most importantly, read, read, read!!
