Fun Summer Book Series for Kids and Teens
SUMMER BOOK SERIES FOR ELEMENTARY AGE READERS

A to Z Mysteries Series
My boys loved the A to Z Mysteries series. Each story is well written and fun.
They’re also great for boys and girls.
THE MAGIC TREE HOUSE SERIES
We loved exploring the history surrounding the stories in The Magic Tree House books in our studies.
From ancient Egypt to castles and knights, the tales are captivating and appeal to boys and girls both.
KATIE KAZOO SWITCHEROO SERIES
Imagine turning into something or someone else and seeing things from their perspective.
That’s what happens to Katie Kazoo in this new-to-us series that Little Miss is devouring!
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE SERIES
Great for upper elementary readers, the Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder is a perfect combination of historical fiction and fun.
SUMMER BOOKS FOR TEENS AND TWEENS
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
It doesn’t matter how many times we read this series, the kids love them more each time.
Although we read them aloud when they were younger, the tween and teen now read them on their own.
A definite must-have series!
The Rangers Apprentice
If your tween or teen son likes more of a fantasy based series, the Rangers Apprentice is a great one to start with.
The Divergent Series
Fans of the movie may find that the books surpass the film.
The series includes Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, and a fourth book called Four that wraps everything up.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series
As a mom, I love that the main character has dyslexia like my oldest.
This five book series features Percy Jackson and his adventures with Greek gods and monsters.
It’s a great series for those tweens who are hard to find books for in the summer.
Harry Potter Series
Jump headfirst into the world of Hogwarts and Harry Potter with this seven book series by J.K. Rowling.
As always, if you’re concerned about the content of a book, read through it before giving it to your child.
Some people prefer not to let their teens read about magic or wizardry while others are fine with it.
Choose a series that fits your child’s reading level, interests, and personality!
