Summer reading lists wanted!

Welcome to (almost) summer. All the libraries are gearing up for their reading programs, and with each passing day some media outlet or other features a summer reading list. Here's one I came across the other day---from the Washington Post. It's specifically kidlit in nature.

I hereby open the floodgates to offer those of you who peruse multiple publications to send any and all children's book summer reading lists/recommendations for sharing. This isn't YOUR personal list, to be clear. No showing of favorites, local or otherwise, here at the equal-opportunity blog that is our dear Chinook!

I'll get y'all started. If you happen upon a goodie, please paste the link into the comments for everyone to enjoy!
