If you are looking for some great books for the young readers in your family, take a look at these curated by the Adventee review team.
The Boys in the Boat
by Daniel James Brown
When it comes to sports history, The Boys in the Boat is an excellent read for any age, especially if your kids watch the Olympics as enthusiastically as mine. When I read this aloud with my son, we talked — a lot — about the boys and the journey their lives took. We both loved it. This is the young reader’s adaptation of the adult bestseller.
Nory Ryan’s Song
by Patricia Reilly Giff
This was a perfect pick for a mother-daughter read with my fifth grader this summer. Giff’s story is beautiful and powerful enough to make a mom marvel and features a courageous and daring young girl who will make your daughters sit up and take notice. Giff takes readers to the Irish potato famine of the 1840s, where the daily quest to find food rests equally on all members of the family, regardless of age. Nory’s commitment to her family and friends and her strength is something you’ll want your daughters to hear.
What Not to Do If You Turn Invisible
by Ross Welford
Unfortunately, many of us have been there: trying to banish those dreaded pimples. But twelve-year-old Ethyl Leatherhead goes a bit too far — sketchy internet herbs are involved, and a sketchier tanning bed — and vanishes herself. Whoops. Being invisible is fun for a while (who among us hasn’t wanted to go unnoticed once or twice?), but it has unintended ramifications in the form of a whirlwind escapade with her best friend, Boydy. Is it possible that becoming invisible is exactly what Ethyl needed to find out who she is? One thing’s already for sure: Ethyl’s a hero for all ages.
