Not sure what you want to read this summer? Well, I can recommend Book Crush by Nancy Pearl. It's Nancy's bookpicks for kids of all ages, arranged by topic like "Not Your Parents' Comic Books"; "Other Times, Other Places"; "Dragon Tales" and "Grin and Bear It". Each title has a brief description. I found myself wanting to reread old favorites, seek out some new titles and send Nancy an email with some titles I thought she'd enjoy. I read it in bits and pieces on a trip to Portland but it would be great to just have on your bookshelf for when you need a little inspiration.
