The summer reading list from Inventure Academy is designed to guide students towards books that are age appropriate. We have tried to include books of different genres. Many of the books suggested here are part of a series and will hopefully keep the bookworms occupied all summer as well. For our young readers we have also added a few movies that they can enjoy.
A good idea would be to look for it at the local library such as “Just Books” or bookstores such as Landmark. Most books are also available on Flipkart.
Happy Reading.
