Great Summer Reads for 5-8 Year-Olds

Great Summer Reads for 5-8 Year-Olds

 At the close of each school year, Fay School's librarians curate lists for the students in each of our divisions (Kindergarten - Grade 2, Grades 3-6, and Grades 7-9). These books are designed to challenge and inform - but, most importantly, to entertain, and to reinforce the joy of reading.
 
Here's the Summer 2025 list of recommended books compiled by Primary School Librarian Courtney Lauriat. This summer's theme is "Mythical and Magical Summer," and the selection features picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, and fiction and non-fiction, all focusing on the fantasy genre.
