James Patterson's 2012 Summer Reading Guides

Award-winning author James Patterson and Patch are teaming up to promote summer reading.

Do you want to get your kids reading this summer? Looking for some titles that will keep them interested?

We asked James Patterson, the award-winning author who had 19 consecutive No. 1 New York Times bestselling novels, to partner with Patch and develop our 2012 Summer Reading Guides.

We've got four lists of books (divided by age group) with a little something for everyone: fantasy, adventure, even a little love! Read one or read ‘em all! If we missed your favorite book, tell us in the comments!
