Summer is the perfect time for settling into a
reading groove with familiar characters in a series. Early readers can share
their older siblings’ (and parents’) pleasure in immersing themselves in book
worlds that continue through several stories (see some recent new series
recommendations for tweens and teens). Here are a few of our recommendations for
younger kids who appreciate the chance to read, read, read the books of authors
whose characters have become their friends. Visit the Lit For Kids site for more
