2026 Summer Reading 

for Incoming 7th Graders

Dear Incoming 7th graders, 

Heritage Middle School is happy to share with you an exciting list of books for this year’s summer reading assignment. We want you to find something you will love, so we are offering a diverse selection, with different topics and sub-genres of fiction.

You are expected to read TWO full-length books that are appropriate for your reading level. You MUST choose at least ONE book from our list of recommended fiction. The other is a free choice (any genre, including non-fiction), which means you can choose from our list or not. In September,  be prepared to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of your books.  A complete list of our recommended books is available on Destiny Discover through the Heritage Media Center Website or in Classlink. Click here to view the summer reading list.

We look forward to discussing your summer reads in the fall.     

Have a great break!
