Suggested Summer Reading Lists: Rising 7th & 8th Grade

The Summer Reading lists contain suggestions for reading; although students may read any other book that is approved by their parents, except where individual schools have issued their own summer reading requirements.

This list includes a wide variety of books to appeal to the interests and reading levels of many students. Parents are encouraged to review book selections with their children in order to help them make appropriate choices. Students may select books from this list, or they may read a comparable book that is approved by their parents.

Additional suggestions can also be found in reading lists developed by Fairfax County Public Library at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/library and Virginia Readers’ Choice at http://vsra.org/VRC.html

Note: A rising student is one that will be starting that grade in the new school year. For example, a rising tenth grader is one who completed the ninth grade in school year 2012-2013 and will be a tenth grader in the 2013-2014 school year.

List is in alphabetic order by author's last name.
