For Young Adults*

Good books are powerful. They invite us to slow down and think deeply. They help us to cultivate patience, empathy, wisdom, and moral character. They inspire us to be happier, kinder people.

Good books aren't just for children, though! Young adults and adults can also benefit from reading books that are wholesome, inspiring, and impact the way we think and feel. Because we at The Good and the Beautiful believe good books are for everyone, we have added a new Summer Reading Program to include everyone 18 and up! Join us!

With every **free physical summer reading pack (limit one per child in your household), you will receive:

  • Summer Reading Log— double-sided postcard reading log with an inspirational message from Jenny Phillips.
  • Free Book— The Kingdom of Stars: Book 1* (Young Adult); this brand-new book is appropriate for young adults or adults. View sample pages.
  • Bookmark

See other levels of the Summer Reading Program: Levels K-1, Levels 2-4, Levels 5-6, Levels 7-12. 

*The Kingdom of Stars books are Young Adult level books meant for those 18 and up. The reading level of these books is similar to our high school books; however, our YA+ books may contain major themes of romance or more mature themes while staying with The Good and the Beautiful standards of promoting moral, wholesome behavior. For more information about the YA+ reading level, please see our Reading Placement Test.
