It has been so much fun receiving your emails, posts, messages, and even letters this summer (yes, I have even received hand-written letters in the mail, and you wouldn’t believe how much it made me smile)!

Amity, rising third grader, is loving The Vanderbeekers as her first summer read. I’ve never heard of this one before, but Amity always has the BEST book suggestions! I love that cover. #stabsummerreading

Alex R., rising 4th grader, is CRUSHING #stabsummerreading. 💪🏽 Alex says: “These two books are inspired by the main character’s life. The main character is Jack Gantos who also wrote the book. There’s a man greedy for money, a crazy old lady with a harpoon, and a best friend who’s so small she can run under a dining room table at full speed without ducking.” These are going on my TBR pile ASAP! @jgantos #reader #proud #kidlit #bookreview

Rising 5th grader Emery is so into her #stabsummerreading, she wouldn’t even put her book down on her spa day 💅 She’s reading The Friendship Bracelet, by Arlene Stewart. That title is new to me, have you read it? #reading #kidlit #alldayeveryday

It’s not just the Learning Village fam getting their #stabsummerreading on. Got this snapshot from @mfharris19 (Ms. Harris), Upper School Physics teacher extraordinaire!

Another awesome #bookrecommendation from Alex: “What was King George’s problem? This great description of the American revolution includes stuff like at the Battle of Eutaw Springs ‘hundreds of my men were as naked as they were born’. – Nathaniel Greene” I have to admit, you guys are slowly but surely changing my mind about history for the better. Now I need to go listen to #Hamilton … 😉 #stabsummerreading #history #nonfiction

“Betty Bunny is a handful.” Abby has a recommendation for you, and it sounds hilarious! 🐰It may surprise you to read that Abby is only going into first grade – how impressive is that writing?! Readers, check out the Berry Bunny series for a laugh from Abby! #stabsummerreading #bookrecommendation #firstgrade #kidlit #picturebook

Ms. Grant is using the summer to catch up on all of the great books her students suggested this year. She says: “All year Mrs. Murray’s 4th grade raved about The Wild Robot, and now I know why! Roz, the robot, is stranded on an island and has to learn how to assimilate and survive. A great book for discussing empathy, friendship, and being different!” Roz is an all time favorite. And PS: If you’ve already met Roz, the next chapter of her story, The Wild Robot Ecsapes, is at @jmrlib just waiting for #stabsummerreading!

👂👂 Do you hear that? It’s the sweet sound of #stabsummerreading (and cracker racing 😂😂). You know what they say about the family that reads together! Loving this live footage of some fabulous summer readers. Way to go, Carter and Reilly! Looks like maybe you have an open seat for me…. 😉 #summerreading #rolemodel

Kay has shed her past and become someone sparkling and new at her expensive, elite boarding school. Every bit of her unimpressive, tragic, and guilty last is behind her…until a classmate is found floating, facedown, in the campus lake. Suicide? Murder? What… or who…. happened to the mystery victim? How well do we really know Kay and her friends? And what can Kay do when her carefully created character starts to unravel? Fans of One of Us is Lying, Gossip Girl, and 13 Reasons Why will devour this (slightly more age appropriate) murder mystery. Let me know if you’re able to guess the real killer – I never can!! #iwaswrong #stabsummerreading #murdermystery #ireadya #bookreview #youngadult

Rising first grader Christopher, little pre-k bro Jackson, and their awesome fam are absolutely winning the #stabsummerreading game. Right now, they’re working on these adorable EllRay Jakes books and now I want to read them, too!
