I made a deal with my children that instead of participating in the library reading program this summer that I would pay them a specific amount to read a list of books. Two-thirds I would choose, the other third they would choose. Since we are done with summer early (early May) and start back early (usually first week in July), sometimes the library's program doesn't really fit in with our schedule.
Here are the lists for our rising 2nd, 9th and 10th graders:
