Back-to-school books for your kids—and for you, too! It’s a tough transition for many kids (and their grown-ups) to leave
behind the lazy days of summer for their more intense school-year
routines. Just as the days begin to get shorter, kids have to wake up
earlier, sit and focus longer, rush to after school activities, get
their homework done, and wrap up dinner all before a supposedly early
bedtime. Oh, wait! Don’t forget to squeeze in the recommended daily
thirty minutes of reading, too. … (Just reading that paragraph was
exhausting!) However, you can make reading easy and fun by sending your kids to
school with ereaders filled with books they love. This way they can
easily hop from book to book while waiting for the bus or in all those
“hurry up and wait” moments at school. And, while their backpacks may
be full of homework, they’ll still have plenty of room for their
favorite books and won’t feel so strapped for time when evening comes
around. For one week only, Open Road Media is offering great back-to-school
deals on ebooks—from award-winning titles to beloved series—at prices
