My Papi Has a Motorcycle has had us dreaming of shave ice since our
Five Questions Summer Reading interview revealed their favorite flavors (limon for Zeke; for Isabel: “Strawberry and maybe pineapple. The fresh fruit kind, with real fruit, where the syrup is made from scratch”). We hope the books on our annual summer reading list — our top ten books for different age ranges that are perfect for the season — are as refreshing to book lovers as a sweet treat in the sun. Find a shady spot, slurp some raspados, and get to reading!
