Summer Reading

Summer 2026 - Required Reading

Following is the required summer reading for students who will be attending Millbrook for the 2026-2027 school year; this list should be read according to the form students will be entering for the upcoming school year. This reading is assessed at the very beginning of the school year, and so it is important that students complete it and bring their physical copies of their summer reading books with them when they return to school.

Please make arrangements to purchase these books at your local bookstore or via an online bookstore of your choosing.
