Need a fun way to keep your child occupied during the last weeks of winter? Then look no further than fun and engaging chapter books. There’s simply no better way to spend a cold day than curled up under a blanket with a riveting read!
Chapter books are the best way to provide your child a whole world to explore. Whether you choose a whole series, book sets, or stand-alone titles, chapter books that capture your child's imagination will not only sharpen their literacy skills, but also keep them occupied for hours as they devour the pages. And when they’re themed around the current season, it makes them all the more relatable!
For example, I Survived the Wellington Avalanche, 1910, tells the edge-of-your seat, action-packed tale of a young girl who survived the deadliest avalanche in the history of the United States. Fans of historical fiction won’t be able to put this page-turner down until they’ve finished the whole book!
If your child loves graphic novels, Miles Morales: Stranger Tides will captivate your reader as they join Miles in his life as Spider-Man. Just as Miles finally gets the hang of this whole superhero thing while dealing with the ins and outs of high school life, a new video game begins to circulate. This would normally sound great, except this particular video game freezes its players. Now, Miles must fight the one responsible — a mysterious villain named The Stranger — before he freezes the entire city.
Fans of The Baby-Sitters Club will love snuggling up with Super Special #3: Winter Vacation. When the students of Stoneybrook Middle School take their annual winter trip to Leicester Lodge in Vermont, everything seems to be going smoothly. That is until a ghost, handsome French skiers, and a busload of kids who need baby-sitting show up.
Newly independent younger readers will love exploring stories from Branches — Scholastic’s line of early chapter books. In Diary of a Pug #2: Pug’s Snow Day, school is canceled due to a snowfall, and Pug’s friend Bella is excited to play outside. There’s just one small problem: Bub doesn’t like snow. Can Bup get past his fear and make a new friend at the same time?
