Are you a middle school student (or the parent of a middle school student) who put off doing summer reading until the last week before school starts back up? First, we recommend of course that you read consistently all summer. But if that ship has sailed, we've still got you covered with some great middle school appropriate titles from our Summer Reading Booklist.
And there's still a smidgen of time to visit your local library branch and pick up a Summer Reading gameboard. Collect stickers for reading books, attending library programs, and participating in other music-themed activities, to be entered into the end-of-summer grand prize giveaway! But what we're here for is the books:
