Fostering a love of reading and its rewards, the Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program is popular with both students in the first through sixth grades and educators throughout America.

Last summer, we provided more than 291,000 free books and participants read 2.3 million books! This year, children can join Jack and Annie from Mary Pope Osbourne’s Magic Tree House on their summer adventure as part of their own journey in our Summer Reading program.

Participation is fun and easy for kids to earn free books! They simply read any eight books — library books, books borrowed from friends or books bought at Barnes & Noble — write about their favorite part, and bring a completed Summer Reading in the Magic Tree House Journal tear page to a Barnes & Noble bookstore. Children can then choose from a list of paperback books. We’re confident there will be plenty of titles they will like.

No matter where your child spends their summer vacation, reading has the ability to take them far, far away — and it can even earn them a free book!

Your Welcome Nancy. My kids do this program every year. They get 2 free books out of it.

My youngest son Lucas loves the Magic Tree House books. I was so happy he found something he loves to read!!! I don't get that flack about "Do I have to?" We are always watching for the next book to come out or checking out and "old favorite!"

My 9 year old son loves magic tree house books as well. He also likes the series Dragon Slayers Academy, and the new series called The Young Jack Sparrow (based on the pirates of the caribbean character). Occasionally he likes Jigsaw Jones, or A to Z mysteries... It is hard to get Caleb into reading. Definately not as much of a reader as his sister.
