Just ordered the book list for the kids “Summer Reading”. My kids read 45 minutes a day, pretty much every day. But, during the summer months I have them reading a little more, at least 1 hour. Finding a good book can sometimes be a challenge. I asked the kids to make a list of their favorite books from this year.
Here are some books my kids REALLY LIKED!
