As the summer winds down we wanted to highlight our titles that have just been added to the Common Reads site. If you’re looking for some inspiration to get outdoors in the final weeks of the season, consider reading Trespassing Across America, by Ken Ilgunas. Or if you’re considering fiction titles for a younger audience, Indie Next List Selection Goodbye Days, by Jeff Zentner was one of the most highly praised 2016 YA titles. And brand new title Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World, by Reshma Saujani has just released this week through a partnership between Girls Who Code and Penguin Young Readers!
