Grab A Book! More Summer Reading Choices

Here it is July 9 and you've already delved into our Patch 2012 Summer Reading Guide featuring choices by best-selling novelist James Patterson.

What? You've already finished it? Good work!

Now we have more for you ...

The National Endowment for the Humanities released its own list of Summer Reading choices last month, breaking its book lists into: Kindergarten through Grade 3, Grades 4 through 6, and Grades 7 through 8. There's also a list for college-bound students.

The 2012 NEH list is a refresh of the original list, which was created in 1988. The first list featured classics and favorites published prior to 1960. The new list has been updated with many "newer" books, including "Hoot" by Carl Hiaasen, "Holes" by Louis Sachar and "Skelli"g by David Almond.

Click each link to access the NEH list for that age group:

• Kindergarten - Grade 3
• Grades 4 - 6
• Grades 7 - 8
• College-Bound students

Do you have a favorite on this new list? Wayland Patch would have to go with "A Wrinkle in Time" or "The Great Gatsby," although we have multiple favorite books that made the cut in the 2012 edition.
