Summer is here, and there’s no better way for middle schoolers to keep their minds engaged than diving into a great book. If you've made your way to the end of your summer reading list, maybe one of your favorite teachers has a book to share! We asked three Glenview middle school teachers to share their top book recommendations — not just middle-grade titles, but also carefully chosen teen and adult books that adventurous readers might love. Whether you want an inspiring story, a fantastical adventure, or a gripping dystopian tale, these titles are sure to help you find the perfect summer read.
Read below to explore each teacher’s list of favorites:
Ms. Beauregard teaches sixth grade and loves sharing high-interest YA books that are sometimes overlooked by students. This list has a mix of survival thrillers, mysteries, emotionally powerful realistic fiction, and fantasy.
Ms. Kruger, 8th grade teacher, loves books that make you think, feel, and stay up way too late reading! If you like stories with plot twists and strong voices, you’ll find something to love on her list.
Language Arts teacher Mr. Malatesta loves to recommend books that make you think. If you like stories that stick with you and challenge how you see the world, his list is for you.
A huge thank you to our amazing Glenview teachers for inspiring a love of reading in and out of the classroom. Their passion for stories and student growth is shown in every recommendation.
Happy Reading!
