HuffPost blogger Devon Corneal is grateful that her kid is in school for another week. She's sorry that the rest of your children are already running wild and complaining that they're bored. If you're wondering what to do with your kids after they play all the games and build all the sandcastles, Devon's annual list of summer reads just might help. You'll find modern fairy tales, animals with attitudes, frightening secrets and even a visit to Pemberley in this year's crop. Happy vacation reading!
