Summer is that time of year that we all can feel free and relaxed, no matter our age. Summers are made for family trips, beach/lake visits, late nights, ice cream cones and so many other things that make us feel like a child all over again. Our this month reading list will help you to get ready for summer and get you in a summer mind set.

I’ve done some book rotation, including some books with a summer / seaside / friendship theme.

When rotating books, I usually try to ensure a balance of current favourites and books we haven’t read for a while, reality-based books and books with an element of fantasy, easy books and ones which are a little more challenging (either because they are longer or deal with more complex topics).
