I read Bridge to Terebithia and Julie when I was in elementary. Julie is kind of boring, but it's basically about a girl that has to survive in the wilderness of Alaska. She likes wolves. Bridge to Terebithia is about a boy and girl who always play make believe but one day the girl dies. The boy realizes that he loved her. That's one of my favorites.



and House on Mango Street, if I remember right, is a lot about a Mexican-American girl who isn't happy with her life because of the culture she is in.



Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix... so easy! You can just watch the movie. But the book itself is pretty long. It's not my favorite of Rowling's, but you might like it. They tend to hide out in Harry's godfather's house and fund an association at the school.



Catherine Called Birdy was also a fun book to me; it's in the medieval times and the girl wants to grow up normally but her family makes her have to be proper, as princesses are.



My personal favorite is Bridge to Terebithia.
Bridge to Terabithia and Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix

If my school l let me choose these two books I would be so happy to so summer reading. You will fall in love with those books!

Plus if you don't want to read you can always watch the moviesWhat can i do to motivate myself to do the summer reading?
Harry Potter and the Westing Game. those are two of my all-time faves!
The house on mango street ands and river are the best by farWhat can i do to motivate myself to do the summer reading?
I'd personally choose Bridge to Terabithia and Golden Compass. I just finished reading GC and I /loved/ it and while I've never read BTT, I have seen the movie, and it was one of the best things I've seen.
Westling Game is a good book. I read it when I was in 6th grade. It is a mystery book about murder. There is also a movie to it. =))))))
