Choose one of these book to read independently or with an adult. During the second week of school, the children will participate in a book club style discussion group with other students who have read the same book.

Choose two books from the following list of fantastic suggestions to read over the summer. Be ready to share a short description of each plot, the settings of the stories, and the main characters. In addition, be ready to share whether you would recommend the books to other fourth graders, giving reasons for your opinions. You may write down your answers on an index card or a piece of paper to help you remember this information. Feel free to read more than the two books. They're all wonderful!
