Who am I to suggest these middle grade books?

Besides being a former teacher and parent of two, I read hundreds of books every month to find the best books for you and your readers. I’ve read and reviewed all of these books. If you want to read more about each book, visit this list of book reviews for 7th graders.

Are your 7th graders reading on a device? My daughter does. At least most of the time. And I like that she’s reading, so I don’t care if she reads on a Kindle, an iPad, a paper book, or phone. Just that she’s reading is good. Without too much nagging… So, consider adding technology to your 7th grader’s summer reading.

What else can motivate your 7th grade reader?

Give your reader a choice of books to read.

Give your 7th graders books — lots of books — whether library books or store-bought books!

Help your 7th grader find blocks of time to read.

Remember that audiobooks count as reading! (See: audiobooks for tweens & audiobooks for teens.)
