The last installment of the Summer Book Hook is devoted to that in-between age group, the tweenagers. I selected some of most talked about and most recommended books by tweens over this past summer sprinkled in with a few recommendations of my own. Other than Harry Potter (naturally), below are a few great reads for kids not quite ready to make the jump into reading young adult fiction...
Two great resources for tween recommended reading: Welcome to My Tweendom and The All-Time Best Books for Tweens by Parents.com.

Looking for books for toddlers age kids and younger? Check out this board book list or the Reading Together picture book lists.
And that's it! I'm hoping to have a non-fiction favorites feature, "Fall Into Non-Fiction", here in the near future. I really wanted to include one in the Summer Book Hook, but alas ran out of time. I hope everyone had a wonderful summer of reading. Here in Lawrence school starts next week... where did the summer go? I hope these tips and the Summer Book Hook reading lists were helpful. I know I enjoyed putting them together and sharing them with you and yours.
RIP Summer! Vive le Fall!!
