Submitted by Kelley Heyworth on
Mandatory summer reading lists can be a bit of a drag in normal years, but let's face it: We all need ideas for great new kids' books now more than ever. With distance learning petering out, camp in question, and many kids stuck at home, it's the perfect time for kids to get lost in a book (or five). So we polled librarians, parents, and publishers for their top summer reading picks, and came up with 30 exciting new books published in 2020 to suit various age groups, including preschoolers, early readers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers.
When they're not escaping to lands of unicorns, purple people, a volcanic village, or the Hunger Games, kids can busy themselves with hundreds of boredom busters in our Stay-at-Home Guide for Summer.
