Here are some suggestions of new and newish books for summer reading, including ones with a Wisconsin pedigree. While these selections keep pleasure reading foremost in mind, some hard-hitting books are included. 

The Milwaukee Public Library encourages your children to join its Super Reader Squad for children 12 and younger, and its teen reader program for youth ages 13 through 18. In addition to the pure pleasure of reading, children and teens can earn prizes.
