That’s great — and you’re welcome!

This website gave me a lot of recommendations for summer reading, so I want to thank you for giving me these recommendations. It gave me a lot of interest in these books.
So again, thank you 🙂

Scott,
I would love to make that list — YES! Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll get back to you soon when it’s written. I agree that Awkward is such a helpful book for confidence. You might also try the Reina Telegemeier Smile series and her new book, Guts as well as All’s Faire in Middle School by Victoria Jamieson. (Those are all graphic novels.)

I wanted to reach out and thank you for creating this terrific resource! I have used your lists extensively to keep my voraciously reading 8 year old twins supplied with great reading material.

In addition, I wanted to ask if you had or would consider creating a category of books themed to inspire confidence, navigate challenging social situations, particularly for elementary/middle school girls. Some books I would include in this genre such as “Awkward” can be found on other lists you have created. I wanted to ask if you had enough titles to recommend to make this its own category? I think there would be a lot of interest.

Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge and helping parents pick great books for their kids to read!

thanks! Glad to hear you liked it so much. I was only so-so but maybe I should give it another try.
