15 Great books that both boys and girls will love- ages 9+

As summer approaches I have been gathering up as many good books as I can find for my boys(ages 9 and 11) and I to read this summer. I read many of these books when I was their age and even though I really enjoyed them as a girl, I know they will too.

I have been so excited that they have finally taken up a love for reading. My heart skips a beat when I find them reading all on their own.

We do a lot of reading together but I really want them to be able to go off and read on their own also.

I have compiled a list of books that I am sure both boys and girls will not want to put down. I hope you will find some great books here to add to your children's reading list this summer! Go to my post over at  --->My Joy Filled Life to find out what they are!
