Summer Reading Required/ Recommended titles

Order forms for the required summer reading titles went out to students this week. It is not mandatory that you purchase these books; it's just a convenience provided by the PTO for families who would like the books delivered to school and who would like some of the proceeds of their purchase to benefit the PTO.
All books are readily available through the public libraries and through local bookstores. Brookline Booksmith frequently displays the books that each Brookline elementary school is recommending.
Here are the titles:
