Well it is the last day of summer vacation and I had 16 more books to write about but I have run out of time! Here is the short, short version. I wanted to make sure they count. Over all it was a good summer experience reading! And I ended the summer just 10 books short. Next summer I will finish!
Day 48: Torn by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This is book four the Missing series.
Day 49: A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz. I really funny, gross, scary retelling of Grimm's tales.
Day 50: Bobby vs. Girls (Accidentally) by Lisa Yee. Cute, good for younger readers who like Andrew Clements.
Day 51: Darth Paper Strikes Back by Tom Angleberger. So funny!! Give to kids looking for funny books and those who love Star Wars
Day 52: Call Me Hope by Gretchen Olson. Sad book about verbal abuse by a parent. For fifth graders and up.
Day 53: Sidekicks by Dan Santat. Funny graphic novel about the pet sidekicks of a superhero.
Day 54: Big Nate On a Roll by Lincoln Peirce. This is the third book in the series. Funny, similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Day 55: Bad Kitty Meets the Baby by Nick Bruel. I love these books about a crazy, selfish cat. Very funny. First graders love to have them read to them and older kids love them as well.
Day 56: Knights of the Lunch Table, The Battle of the Bands by Frank Cammuso. This is the third book in the series. It is a funny, graphic novel based on the King Arthur legend.
Day 57: Shredderman: Secret Identity by Wendelin Van Draanen. Story about bullying and one boy who is determined to fight back,
Day 58: Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow by James Rollins. Great adventure series. Give it to kids who loved Percy Jackson.
Day 59: Olympians Hera by George O'Connor. Graphic novel about the god. Great kids into mythology and looking for information about the Greek gods.
Day 60: Other Goose by J. Otto Seibold. Cute, reworkings of Mother Goose rhymes. Some of funny, some are a stretch and the original is better.
Day 61: Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay. This is an adult book that is set during World War II in Paris. It is a good book but sad.
Day 62: Into the Unknown by Stewart Ross. This is a great non-fiction book about explorers. Good for fifth grade and up.
Day 63: In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson. Really wonderful nonfiction work about Berlin in the early 1930's as Hitler was coming to power.
Day 64: The Reinvention of Bessica Lefter by Kristen Tracy. Book about a girl moving onto middle school and trying to reinvent herself. Very similar to a lot of other books out there that cover this storyline but girls are always looking for books like this.
