Middle Grade Summer Reading Goal

 

Summer Reading Goal

Read 50 Middle Grade Novels

I’m so excited to begin this summer reading goal.  I love middle grade novels but I don’t read them as often as I would like to.  These books are also such great books to read with my kids!  Such amazing stories are told in these books.

This spring I began compiling a list of middle grade novels that I wanted to read.  Below is the list of novels I will be reading this summer.  I will update you monthly with my progress.
