You want the kids to be able clock a ton of required reading minutes while on the road this summer but the thought of piling books into a totally packed car feels too much like your own version of Gray Gardens. Cut down on space without losing the literary by going digital with audio and e-books. Flip through the gallery for the very best new reads. Bonus: you can check most of these out for free at your local library.

The Notebook of Doom: Flurry of the Snombies

Ebook
Illustrations on every page and action-packed plotlines (zombies, monsters and lots of zany battles) make the Notebook of Doom series another that’s perfect for newly independent readers—although it’s also fun to read aloud. The seventh installment pits the three friends against an army of snow monsters who invade their summer camp.

Good for: ages 5-10

Available at amazon.com, $2.99.
