Summer Book Recommendations for Middle Graders

We are very lucky at my school to have our local librarian, Kathy Jarombek, come to give the third - fifth graders a list of great summer reads. Here are the books the Perrot Library recommends for this summer:

DOLL BONES by Holly Black

DREAMER WISHER LIAR by Charise Mericle Harper

ESCAPE FROM MR. LEMONCELLO’S LIBRARY by Chris Grabenstein

FLORA & ULYSSES by Kate DiCamillo

THE FORBIDDEN LIBRARY by Django Wexler

LANTERN SAM AND THE BLUE STREAK BANDITS by Michael Beil

ODD WEIRD AND LITTLE by Patrick Jennings

OPERATION BUNNY by Sally Gardner

ROOFTOPPERS by Katherine Rundell

TREASURE OF WAY DOWN DEEP by Ruth White

TRUE BLUE SCOUTS OF SUGAR MAN SWAMP  by Kathi Appelt

ZANE AND THE HURRICANE by Rodman Philbrick

I can't wait to get started reading! What would you add to the list? Any middle grade books you want to read this summer?
