Summer Reading Collage
Summer Reading 2023
Welcome to GDS’s suggested summer reading lists! Note the word “suggested.” At GDS, we believe students should choose their own free reading whenever it’s possible. We highly recommend browsing in, borrowing from, and participating in programs at your local public libraries during summer months when the school libraries are closed.
If you’d like to read what Kirkus Reviews, a great book review publication, says about the books on this list, simply click the title. Where possible, we’ve also included links to the e-books and audio books on the DC Public Library’s Overdrive shelf. Looking for physical books? Search the DCPL catalog here.
Some of these titles contain challenging ideas, concepts, and language. See this Hopper Effect blog post to learn more about GDS’s thoughts around this.
Happy Reading!
Did You Know? GDS students, regardless of where they live, can get a card for the DC Public Libraries. GDS also encourages participation in DCPL’s Discover Summer program.
