Summer Reading Lists from Author James Patterson and Patch

Hey readers, Patch is teaming up with best-selling author James Patterson to get kids reading this summer. Do your kids need some suggestions for books to tackle over vacation? Take a look.

Patch and author James Patterson have teamed up to get kids reading this summer! We're working with Patterson and his READKIDDOREAD organization to help parents, librarians, teachers, and of course, kids pick out some great age-appropriate reading material this summer.

"We hope moms and dads will be inspired to take an even more active role in getting their kids into books and reading. That’s what ReadKiddoRead is all about. I’m proud to be working with Patch to get more children reading good books. I’m really excited to be getting a conversation going this summer with such a lively and active network of families across the country,” said Patterson.

The first part of our program features four reading lists with Patterson's suggestions for titles kids should look into. They're broken up by age group to help parents pick which is best for their family. Take a look at our video too, where Patterson talks about his organization and why he decided to partner with Patch.
