Summer Reads for Kids
by Emily Hoang
Summer break is here! This means going off to camps, enjoying the outdoors, or staying by the pool with a book. Get your brain ready for the upcoming school year with one of the “Summer Brain Quest Workbooks” with activities that’ll keep your mind active, along with your body. Friendships happen in the most unlikely places when a mermaid and pirate team up for an adventure that’ll show readers kindness and generosity can happen beyond words. This is in no way an extensive list, but a great way to kick start your summer reading challenge!
Summer is all fun and games with the pool and ice cream trucks. But your kids can also stay summer smart by completing various activities on one of the Brain Quest workbooks. In this Pre-K one, there’ll be activities to help kids with their ABCs, phonics, shapes, vocabulary, and more. The best part is getting a sticker once your kid completes the activities. “Brain Quest Workbooks” are available from pre-school through 6th grade. With their “Summer Brain Quest Workbook”, you’ll also get bonus challenges, a summer reading list, a Brain Quest mini deck, and more.

Sometimes, the heat isn’t just from the sun. Twelve-year-old Winnie Nash has never held so many secrets. Winnie’s agreed to stay with her grandma for the summer while her mom takes care of her health during her latest pregnancy. She’s playing cards with her Grandma’s friends and joins the senior citizen book club, doing everything to not talk about her mom’s sad days. Her parents tell her to not mention her biggest secret—that she’s gay—to her grandma. It gets harder when Winnie notices a really cute girl also hanging out with the senior citizens. Will Grandma notice? The more Winnie hides, the more she longs to be surrounded by her LGBTQ+ community.
