Summer Reading Recommendations

With all the free time of summer it seems as though we should be able to read a thousand books in June, July and August, but I can never find the time to read all the books I want to! I envy my son, who will be a fifth grader this fall, because he reads all the time. He's recently re-read the "Artemis Fowl" series and recommends each of them to you. I just finished "Surviving the Applewhites," and it was worthwhile. My favorite quote, "Education is an adventurous quest for the meaning of life, involving the ability to think things through." It sounds more complicated than it is, but we'll start our year by talking about this quote and what you think education is!
