Summertime! It’s the perfect time to find a hammock (or a grassy backyard, or a cozy front porch . . . you get the idea) and immerse yourself in a good book.

Whether you are an incoming 5th grader, soon-to-be senior, or an adult bibliophile, we hope you will find something special on this list. There are graphic novels, mysteries, adventure stories and so much more!

Please don’t feel limited to print versions. Many of the books that we are recommending are available as ebooks and/or audio books on our FHPS Overdrive shelf. You can access these titles all summer long!

If you see the blue Overdrive logo next to the listed title, then the book is available in the FHPS Overdrive Collection.

And don’t forget that while the school libraries are closed for the summer, our friends at the Kent District Library and Grand Rapids Public Library offer amazing summer programming for children of all ages. Stop by your local public library and join in the fun!
