Summer Reading!

It's the first few days of summer... and my last few weeks in primary school :(. But, I am not going to dwell on that.

Summer reading can benefit you in heaps of ways. You get a long period to read books and its just a great time to read out in the sun, or at the beach or park. Reading can improve your knowledge and understanding of things in the world, and what better way to do it than at the end of the year!

If you are looking for new books to read during the summer, look at this list! These books are not ordered from best to least. They are in random order.

1) Tandem- Anna Jarzab. A book about time, space, and alternate universes, with a cool twist (see review on this blog.)

2) The Fault in Our Stars- John Green. A book about romance, and how life should be lived to the fullest. I cannot stress enough how inspirational this book was. (see review and sum on this blog.)

3) I Am Juliet- Jackie French. A book based on the play by William Shakespeare. Will melt hearts. (see review on blog.)

4) If you haven't already yet: The Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins. A book about battle, romance, and pure awesomeness. Go and read it and MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR......

5) The first book in the Darren Shan series: Cirque du Freak- Darren Shan. A book introducing a twelve part (I think its twelve part) series about spooky things, spiders, and vampires.

6) Letters to Leonardo- Dee White. A book about loss, imagination, and friendship. (see review on this blog.)

7) Apple and Rain- Sarah Crossan. A book about emotions, and how whole worlds can be turned upside down- for better or worse. Be prepared for some tears.

8) Wonderstruck- Brian Selznick. A book about finding your true self, and accepting who you are. A truly creative and unique story. It does not take long to read at all, I read it in two days. It has pictures and words, telling two different stories that interlock. Simply beautiful.

9) Dizzy- Cathy Cassidy. I don't know why I am putting this on here. It may seem like a little kids book but it actually isn't. It's a book about adventures, and how often, when life doesn't seem completely perfect, it may just be.

10) Two Weeks With the Queen- Morris Gleitzman. It's a book about illness, courage, and how much one person can do to make a difference. It is a very heart-warming story.
