School’s out this week! Is the tween in your life going off to camp sometime this summer? Tuck one of these books into the backpack.
  • Spy Camp by Stuart Gibbs – In this sequel to Spy School, middle-schooler Ben Ripley attends mandatory survival training at a rustic camp.
  • Lumberjanes by Nicole Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Brooke Allen, and Shannon Watters – Five best friends spend the summer together at Lumberjane Scout Camp. This graphic novel is like Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes to summer camp.
  • Holes by Louis Sachar – Stanley ends up at Camp Green Lake, where boys build character by digging holes all day that are exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. What’s really going on?
  • The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place by E.L. Konigsburg – “I prefer not to” is what Margaret says every time she’s asked to engage in any activity at Camp Talequa. Her parents have sent her there for the summer while they're in Peru, and Margaret hates every minute of it. When her uncles rescue her from camp, she discovers that they need rescuing as well.
  • Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan – Camp Half-Blood, probably the most dangerous summer camp ever, is for demigods.

For more ideas to keep your tween reading, check out the local public library. Many libraries sponsor summer reading programs and offer summer reading lists for all ages. This year, the theme of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is “Every Hero Has a Story.”

Enjoy the summer!
