Hello! I’m writing this at the start of the worst summer vacation in the history of the universe! Thanks, but no thanks, Covid-19. At first, I was super happy school shut down early and I thought I’d say ‘See ya Grade 6!’ without writing my final exams. But then school made us take our exams online, and I had to spend the first three weeks of my early summer break studying. Ugh. As if that wasn’t bad enough, everything has closed down or been cancelled. The swimming pool, theatres, gaming arcades, cricket coaching. What is a kid supposed to do? Even worse, both my parents are practising ‘social distancing’ and working from home, and they keep complaining about how we’re sucking up all the broadband watching “The Flash and DC Legends of Tomorrow”. So, screen time is being rationed.
In such difficult times, there’s only one thing to do. Read! So, I’m sharing my Covid-19 reading list. This is 100% free from adult intervention, because let’s face it, when grown-ups make reading lists, they can be super boring.
