Summer Reading Packs

Looking for ways to keep your child reading this summer? You'll love our reading packs! Elementary reading packs were curated by Mrs. Maurer, 1st-grade teacher at Long Meadow, and our Middle School pack was curated by Mrs. Foutz, media specialist at West Middle School. The information below includes who the books are a great fit for and which books will be included. Must be picked up in-store at Novel; you will receive an email notification when your order is ready. Please allow 10 business days (max) for us to have them ready, as we are a small independent bookstore with limited staff and order books as we receive orders. Thank you!
