Kid’s Summer Reading Guide
Natalie Langston
BY:
School’s Out… Reading’s In! Summer is the best time to get lost in a new book that will take you through countless journeys to places near and far and even imagined. It’s a great chance to immerse yourself in some of your favourite titles instead of being forced to read yet another boring textbook.
I worked with the experts at IndigoKids to create a list of some of our favourites for you to take with you the next time you head to the beach. We made sure to include titles that will challenge, delight and inspire kids of all ages.
Summer’s Hottest Books
- The Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan – Fan Favourite!!
- The Misadventures of Max Crumbly: Locker Hero by Rachel Renée Russell
- The BFG by Roald Dahl

Often over the summer most kids for one reason or another don’t read as much, maybe because of sports activities, family holidays and outings or having out with friends. IndigoKids wants to inspire Canadian kids and their families to keep up with their reading and prevent the “summer slide,” in their Passport to Reading campaign. So we want to give you the chance to win 5 of your favourite titles and a Kobo to bring along on your summer adventures!
