The best books for children and teens published this month, with something in here for every age and interest.

May marks the official start of summer, the perfect time to start thinking about books and reading lists for the holidays. Today, we’re looking at some of the best books for children and teens published this month, with something in here for every age and interest.

For early readers, we have an underwater adventure, a time-travel story, a retelling of Aesop’s Fables and the arrival of Dog Man as Gaeilge! For 10-plus, a brilliant title about the death of a childhood friend and a story about an unlikely hero gaining superpowers. Finally for older readers, an LGBTQ+ coming of age story and a thrilling new murder mystery.
