Summer Reading Lists

I hope all PBS students will make reading part of the summer! Sitting by the pool or the lake? Bring along a book! Waiting in the car? Read a book! Sleeping over at a grandparent's house? Don't forget your book. These Summer Reading Lists are full of classic and newer titles that I find particularly interesting and engaging. Head on over to your local library or bookstore to find them. Need even more suggestions? Use the links below to get some great suggestions from other trusted professionals.
