Oliver Moon's Summer Howliday

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about an upcoming vacation or new experience, especially one that feels a bit out of their comfort zone. Oliver Moon's Summer Howliday follows a young wizard on a camping trip that is anything but relaxing. From a mischievous baby sister to a boastful rival, Oliver's plans for a perfect "howliday" quickly fall apart. The story gently models resilience and finding the fun in imperfection. For early chapter book readers, ages 7 to 9, this book offers a delightful blend of magic, humor, and relatable family chaos. It’s an excellent choice for building reading stamina with a story that is lighthearted, funny, and reassuringly silly, showing kids that even magical adventures can have bumps in the road.
