The Horn Book's annual Summer Reading recommendations are "different from our many other themed booklists in that they’re eclectic by design. When compiling the lists — thirteen selections (a baker’s dozen!) for all age ranges — we seek out page-turning fiction, nonfiction, folklore, and poetry. We approach these lists in the spirit of exploration and curiosity and with the important reminder that “the individual child is the real criterion.” Maybe not every book will be for every reader — but what better time than summer, with its extended out-of-school hours and often less prescriptive schedule, to pick up a potential new favorite?"
