What Are Your Top 3 Beach Reads?
In celebration of July 4th and all of summer’s fun activities, I asked a few Lee & Low authors and staff members what their favorite beach reads are. I’m sure it was difficult to pick just three, but here’s what they came up with:
Don Tate, author of It Jes’ Happened, says: “Reading here has been slow lately. But here’s what’s tops on my summer reading list, books written by friends and critique partners in my local writing community.”
- Laugh With The Moon by Shana Burg
- Chronal Engine by Greg Leitich Smith
- Think Big by Liz Garton Scanlon
Jaclyn DeForge, our Resident Literacy Expert, explains why she made her choices:“During the summer, despite my best intentions, I seldom actually make it to the beach, so here are my favorite travel-centric reads that help me imagine I’m on vacation.”
- A Sense of Direction: Pilgrimage for the Restless and the Hopeful by Gideon Lewis-Krauss
