Summer chapter books for tweens (around age 9-12)Ī note: This is for my kid who reads very well, but whose pastime of choice is climbing trees and digging in the dirt.

This post would be a mile long if I included all 20, so I’ve also created a simple printable you can download listing all the books, if it’s easier for you to print it and carry with you to the bookstore or library. I also thought you might like to see her line-up, so here are 10 of them. It was a big hit, so we’re doing it again this year. Last year I gave her a list of 20 chapter books, and told her that if she read 10 of them by the end of summer, we’d do something special (we ultimately went for a pedicure and ice cream). I’m not a huge fan of forced reading, but I do enjoy rewarding a good effort. I also love that there are fewer toys and more of a simple making-the-most-out-of-life approach when it comes to play.Īnd also? I love that there are some downright stellar books out there for this age, books that I want to read as much as her. (Since we’re on the subject, Megan and I podcasted about our nine-year-old girls, and she shared a great resource in the episode-I’m digging it a ton).īut honestly, my daughter’s been a total gem in early tweendom so far, and it’s fun having a kid with whom I can now have real, solid, enjoyable conversations. It’s that fantastically unique phase when you want to both grow up and stay a little kid, often in the same breath. I love age nine, but it’s totally pulled the rug out from under me-I feel like out of nowhere, my girl is on that cusp heading in to a (very) young adulthood, while still keeping a toe or three into little kid-hood. But I blinked, and just like that, she’s now nine and a half. When I first started this blog, I wrote my list of favorite picture books for young children because my oldest was three.
