Looking Ahead to 2026-2027

There is much to look forward to in the 2026-2027 school year with Tome Society as we Capture Curiosity through our new Tome Book Award selections. Families, teachers, and supporters can preview the full lists on the Books page and even get a head start by reading the August Books of the Month with the children in their lives.

This year’s August selections include The Girl Who Kept the Castle by Ryan Graudin for Club Tome (grades 2-5); Weirdo by Tony Weaver and The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman by Gennifer Choldenko for Junior Tome (grades 6-8); and The Stranded by Sarah Daniels and The Davenports by Krystal Marquis for Tome Society (grades 9-12). Many adults in our community also enjoy reading titles from the high school list for their own personal reading.

TomeCon 2027 will take place on March 9, 2027 at the Classic Center in Athens, Georgia. This annual event gives students the chance to share their hard work in reading, writing, and creative projects while connecting with other Tome members and the authors they love. If you are interested in volunteering or sponsoring the event, we would love to hear from you.

We are also already reading for the 2027-2028 Book Award lists. If you enjoy reading and would like to help review potential titles this summer, visit the volunteers page to check out the TBR list and sign up for a book.

Thank you for supporting young readers and helping cultivate a love of reading in the year ahead. Your involvement helps bring our vision to life: to inspire a culture where young readers embrace lifelong literacy through meaningful engagement with great books, fellow readers, and the authors behind the stories they love.
