Summer months are made for relaxing with some new books.  Whether your child is reading while resting poolside, laying on a hammock, or cuddling in bed, it is always fun to pleasure read in the summertime in the absence of time pressures that the school year often brings each fall.  A few of UltimateMama’s favorite summer reading books for those who are 10, 11, 12, and 13 years old as follows:

My Life in Pink & Green by Lisa Greenwald which happens to be book one in a series for tween girls

York: The Shadow Cipher by Laura Ruby which is also book one in a series

The Miscalculations of Lightening Girl by Stacy McAnulty about a post-lightening strike math genius

The Penderwicks: A Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall is a classic summertime tale and just one book in Birdsall’s witty series
