Twelve Months in 2025, twelve books geared towards kids ages 10-12 that are perfect to read together as a family!
Do you love reading with your kids, but struggle to pick out the right book to read to them?
I do too. As a mom and Christian writer, I’m always on the lookout for our next family read aloud, but I’m picky. My time is limited and reading a book aloud is an investment. I want our next family read to be fun and exciting for the kids but also hopeful and thought-provoking.
If you feel the same way this giveaway is for you.
I’ve hand selected twelve amazing books from different authors and genres geared towards kids ages 10-12 (including my first full-length novel The Great Friend Feud)! I think all of these would make great family read-alouds. While I am a Christian author and my book has Christian themes, most of these books are not faith-focused. But all of them meet the criteria of being hopeful or thought-provoking and many of them emphasize family or friendship in some way.
Okay. Okay. Let’s get to the books already…
The winner will receive a copy of these twelve books in hardback form:
- The Labors of Hercules Beal by Gary D. Schmidt
- A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park
- A Place to Hang the Moon by Kate Albus
- The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
- The Great Friend Feud by Lacey Markt
- Roadtrip Rescue by Becca Wierwille
- The Mona Lisa Vanishes: A Legendary Painter, a Shocking Heist, and the Birth of a Global Celebrity by Nicholas Day
- Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate
- A Duet for Home by Karina Yan Glaser
- Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier
- The Bark of the Bog Owl by Jonathan Rogers
- The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson
The winner will be announced on my website January 9th and through my newsletter on January 14th!
You might notice in the picture that there are only eleven books. That is because my book, The Great Friend Feud isn’t available until March. That means the winner of the giveaway will get eleven books shipped to them in January and my book will be shipped separately when it becomes available in March.
While only one person can win the giveaway, all entrants agree to subscribe to my newsletter and will receive monthly book recommendations and a link to a free copy of my novella Clark Sees Red. You can unsubscribe at anytime.
