Scholastic offices in the U.S. are closed today, but we at OOM wanted to wish you all a safe and happy holiday weekend. While we remember and thank those who served our country, we also tend to use this weekend as the unofficial kickoff of summer — and all the reading that comes with it.

If you’re a teacher or student, stop by the Summer Challenge and get busy logging your minutes! (Already, kids have logged more than 13 million minutes!) And meanwhile, what are your favorite summer or Memorial Day-themed reads? Let us know in the comments!
