We all worry about our kids losing some of the growth they have made over the school year by not reading over the summer. I know, I do. For this reason I always save my favorite series for the two months before school gets out for summer. There is no better time to get your kids hopelessly hooked on a new series they can't get enough of! We spend a lot of time really digging deep into the themes of the books and if I have read the series I already, I usually reread it with my kids. I also make sure that they have access to the rest of the series over the summer.
Check out some of my favorites below!

Currently I have groups in Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins and the Found series by Margaret Peterson Haddix and it is going VERY well! I'm reading the Found series along with my kids and, whoa, that series is EXCITING!
What books would you add to this list?
Happy reading!
Great list of series! Some of my favorites to recommend to Middle Grades include the Secrets of Nicholas Flamel and The Giver quartet. I love your idea of group books being the first in a series before summer. I need to remember this for next year!
