No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ funny looks! Ok, so maybe two out of three still applies.
Summer vacation. It’s a great time to catch up with friends, enjoy the outdoors from sun up until sun down, and of course, catch up on reading! Just a few weeks shy of summer vacation, Barnes & Noble has announced their 13th annual summer reading program with the series “Percy Jackson & The Olympians.” Author Rick Riordan takes readers on the adventures of Percy Jackson, a young half-god, half-human son of the gods of Olympus.
The reading program, which encourages kids to read throughout the summer, asks kids to read any eight books of their choice, then to write about the book in a summer reading journal and once the journal is complete, kids can get a coupon for a free book.
