The HOPSCOTCH GIRLS enterprise was started by a mom frustrated by what gifts were available for girls. The company presented their first product, I Am Confident, Brave & Beautiful: A Coloring Book for Girls, back in 2017 that has now sold over 1.3 million copies.
Now we have a fiction series starring the endearing Mia Madison:
Mia has made a name for herself at her school as an entrepreneur after launching not one, but two, successful businesses. Now her classmates need her help with their own ventures, and Mia must put her problem-solving skills to the test. Whether she’s helping them get their business off the ground, work with customers, or invent new problem-solving products, Mia is sure to teach them all something new.
However, Mia soon finds that juggling her businesses, schoolwork, and friends can be a challenge. With the help of her CEO mom, Mia tackles her friends’ problems (and her own) head-on and teaches them, and readers, the ins-and-outs of running a successful kid business.
The 20 chapters are narrated by Mia in an entertaining and thought provoking fashion. Her first two businesses, PACK SOME PUNCH Not Just Lemonade stand and HAVE A NICE VACATION PET SITTING SERVICES have been going great. Mia’s newest, KidBizTips, has encountered a few bumps in the road. Her multiple jobs along with school work are overwhelming and causing problems both with family and friends.
Mia Madison, CEO will mostly appeal to girls though I wouldn’t totally exclude boys as potential readers. Two male characters provide both positive and negative conflict. Girls though will be empowered to start their own business and at the least be given the confidence that they can do anything in life given the opportunity.
Hopscotch Girls presents Mia Madison, CEO is a much needed addition to the bookshelves both at home and at school. A fun and inspiring read for sure.

Sunny Parker and her dad live at the Del Mar Apartments, an affordable housing option for low income residents. Dad is the manager and fix- it-man, although it might take him some time to complete a repair request with three floors of apartments.
Sunny loves the Del Mar and helps her dad by cleaning up areas like the laundry room. Her best friend Haley also lives there and many of the other apartment dwellers are some of her favorite people. That wouldn’t include old Sourpuss Scanlon. Sunny believes the tale that if you talk to her you are cursed.
When the city proposes building another affordable housing unit at the site of an abandoned school, Sunny begins to realize rich people living in big houses nearby don’t like the idea. Having more poor people is not a good thing for their town and brings down the values of their own homes.
Sunny never thought of herself as poor and worries about going to middle school and being labeled that way. With the help of Haley and a few other of her Del Mar friends, Sunny is determined to change the way others feel. Dad wants her to stay low and not bring attention to their apartment complex. Let the conflict begin!
Sunny narrates the tale and although it is not intended to be a fast moving, full of action type story, Sunny is a winning main character that you will remember. She brings her sunny personality to every conflict, always trying to understand others. The diverse cast of characters is also a plus.
Be sure to not miss the authors note as she details her own experience growing up at an affordable housing unit. SUNNY PARKER IS HERE TO STAY serves as a perfect starting point for reflection and discussion about different income levels.

FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT SUNNY PARKER IS HERE TO STAY by Margaret Finnegan
The change in each character was portrayed nicely. That includes an abused female resident, Sunny’s Dad, and Sourpuss Scanlon who turns out to be not such a sourpuss.
Seeing a neighborhood quite different from their own will enlighten readers. Although I was too young to remember, my parents managed an affordable apartment complex before moving to a small house. They had many wonderful and scary stories to tell.
The thoughts Sunny has about her Dad being a coward were heartbreaking, but the end result brought hope to the situation.
Standing up for what you believe in and having your voice heard is an important and memorable part of the plot.
This will appeal to an upper elementary school audience and the issues brought forth are a great starting point towards openness and understanding towards others.

Four kids are recruited to be a part of the Climate Action Taskforce, a group that enlists bright young minds to help solve the climate crisis. The story blends in information about climate change throughout the 32 chapters.
Front and center is main character, Jax. He is the most self-centered, obnoxious, and unlikable MG character ever created. It’s his way or watch out as he will retaliate. Luckily, by the final pages there is a hint of a different side to Jax that I hope will continue into book 2.
Coming in a close second in this not so enduring category is Grace. She is at odds with Jax from the start. Helping balance the behavior of these two are the gracious, Kylie from Australia and August, the computer genius. They want to work together as a team rather than undermine each other. Their efforts come up a bit short given the strong personalities of Jax and Grace.
These four very different personalities are spending the summer on an unknown island, home of the CAT Academy. The plot moves along at a fine pace and the quick, surprising ending sets up the next book in an intriguing way. Learning about climate change in this format embeds important details as to what we are doing to our planet. Not to be missed is the author’s note as he delves deeper into how anyone can be more involved in change.
THE CLIMATE DIARIES-THE ACADEMY should appeal to young readers and is the perfect title for Earth Day on April 22nd.

This contemporary story set in Black Butte Ranch, Oregon, provides a warm feeling of time well spent (along with hopes of a sequel).
The summer before sixth grade brings many traumatic changes to Nick’s life. His Great Gramp, the one person he could always get advice from and share their love of Superman comics, has died. Nick’s mom and dad, who is about to lose his job, have also decided to move from the only home Nick has ever known. This can’t happen, especially with unfinished business Nick has with the large stack of cash hidden under his bed that Gramps secretly left him.
“Click” refers to the superhero he and Gramp created, and Nick still draws new comics featuring the character. Unfortunately, no one else shares his enthusiasm.
His former friends have grown out of their passion for superheros. Nick’s dad wishes he’d give spend more time with kids his age and be more devoted to team sports. Finally, Nick’s mom wants him doing better in school and has him working on book reports over the summer. Nick can’t seem to make either of them proud.
What no one notices is that Nick is a great artist with skills beyond his years. He has also taken up a late night secret Superman type role by doing good deeds, ones that are getting a big notice from the town folk. Now if he could only find a way to keep his family from moving far away.
Nick is such a relatable and special character. His devotion to helping others is heartwarming and you will often feel the emotions Nick is experiencing through his first person narration. Double thumbs up to author Sandy Grubb for molding this boy into one we will always remember.
Look, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman holding his favorite book, JUST LIKE CLICK! One of my favorite contemporary MG reads this year.
BOOK BIRTHDAY: April 16, 2024 PAGE COUNT: 188
FIVE MORE THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT: JUST LIKE CLICK by Sandy Grubb
Each of the 30 chapters begins with a comic featuring Click and many characters from Nick’s world. A clever way to provide a story within a story.
The secondary characters like twins Celia and Jacey, Patrick, and Trapper all have distinct personalities that bring even more life to the story. Their character arcs are wonderfully carried out.
Nick’s visit to his elderly friends is a brief but deep rooted part of the story. It will warm your heart what Nick does for these people.
Adult readers will for sure cringe at many of Nick’s midnight missions, but young readers will only smile and wish they were in his shoes. Nick’s secret life is full of excitement.
The world is full of hate and unkindness toward others. What better way to escape that reality by spending time with Nick and his focus on good deeds and friendship.
Sandy Grubb has been writing children’s stories since she was a child herself. Her debut novel, Just Like Click, won the esteemed Kraken Book Prize, recognizing finely crafted middle grade fiction. When not at home in Lake Oswego, Oregon, Sandy and her family can often be found exploring nature trails and playing badminton at Black Butte Ranch, just like Click…and Nick! (Author Website)
********************************************
There’s MORE! I’m happy Sandy Grubb can join me today at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE to answer a few questions:
Where did the idea come from to write JUST LIKE CLICK?
My first agent had been submitting another manuscript of mine for about a year, and the feedback leaned toward the opinion that it was too serious for their lists. I still love that story but decided perhaps I should write something more light-hearted. In that first book, my protagonist and my main supporting character are both girls. As a mother of boys concerned about encouraging boys to read, I decided to write about an eleven-year-old boy in Just Like Click, but I also have two strong girls in supporting roles. Early on, I decided to set the story at Black Butte Ranch. Then the mystery of imagination kicked in and soon it was a boy who loves superheroes, then a boy who creates superhero comics, then a boy who decides to become a superhero. As he later tells his dad, “Just maybe you can learn something from superheroes!”
How long was the journey to get your story published? Anything you would do differently?
I find I can write productively for about two hours a day, and it took me about five years to write this story. Once I had a draft, I took it through nearly twenty rounds of revisions. During that period in my writing life, I was working hard to learn and improve my craft. I took many workshops, especially through the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). I was lucky to already have an agent, until she changed agencies and didn’t take me with her. It took a couple years before I found my current agent, Stephanie Cardel at Lighthouse Literary in 2020. She took me through some significant revisions, and finally we signed a publishing contract with Fitzroy books in 2022. It has taken another two years for my publisher to put my book through their production process. I’ve learned so much! As for what I would do differently, in the beginning of my writing career, I was mostly what they call a pantser, writing without much of a plan in mind. I’ve been learning how to outline my stories early on while still leaving room for surprises. I also now do deep character development work before I begin. It speeds up the drafting stage significantly for me.
What appeals to you about writing middle grade?
Middle grade books are beautiful pieces of literature. I love books with quirky authentic characters, fast-paced action, universal life challenges, creative twists and plot surprises, all with the power to open the world to young readers in a way they can see themselves and life in new light. Reading did this for me when I was a kid, just when I needed it. Middle grade readers are ready and willing to suspend reality and go on epic adventures.
How did you decide on Black Butte Ranch for the setting of JUST LIKE CLICK?
Our family has been vacationing at Black Butte Ranch for forty years. In the summer, there are hundreds of new people each week on the bike paths and in the pools. I began wondering what it would be like for the few kids who live there year-round. They could remain quite anonymous with strangers around so much of the time. Story possibilities seemed endless, and the beautiful outdoor setting seemed perfect for adventures.
What projects you are working on now?
I admit launching Just Like Click has taken over much of my writing time this past year, but I’ve been working on a new contemporary middle grade story about a brilliant girl who has trouble fitting in with her peers, presumably because she’s so smart, but maybe there’s more going on. When her only friend dies from childhood cancer, she is definitely in trouble socially, as well as grieving. However, her friend left her instructions for survival, but can she carry out the plan? It has some serious themes of grief, but also many fun escapades and plot twists. I can’t wait to share it, but I guess that’s all I should say for now.
Greg, thank you for sharing my book and my story with your readers. It’s such a privilege to be invited into your digital space!

Kathy has a Thai mother and an American father. In Thailand she is seen as a “luk khrueng” (half child) given her bi-cultural background.
Most of the year Kathy lives in Bangkok, where she attends an English speaking international school. But every summer her family, including a older sister, travel to Maine. Kathy loves the food (clam chowder, blueberries, and eventually lobster) along with all the delights of coastal living.
Kathy though doesn’t seem to fit in and she feels different (both in looks and thoughts) than others her age. She’s excited and worried about spending 3 weeks at a summer camp.
Continental Drifter is a graphic novel that vividly displays the emotions of living in two worlds. This will hit home with readers who have ever felt unconnected with their family and peers.
Not all is resolved but by book’s end, Kathy has a different outlook and seems to see that obstacles are creating the person she will become. A well-done and honest debut. The author also includes many of her own family photos in the back pages, a nice connection to the story.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kathy MacLeod is an illustrator and cartoonist whose work has appeared in The Believer, Catapult, The Hairpin, and Lucky Peach. After spending most of her life in Bangkok, Thailand (with a four-year interlude at Wesleyan University), she is currently living in Berlin, Germany. Continental Drifter is her first graphic novel.

KEEPING PACE is an upper middle grade book. The engaging plot is just right for those readers not quite ready for a full blown jump into YA.
Thirteen-year-old Grace is an achievement oriented girl who strives to become the top scholar in her final year of middle school. She wants to beat her former best friend Jonah, but at graduation she finds out he beat her my a fraction of point. So much for impressing her divorced dad who doesn’t spend as much time with Grace anymore.
Summer is next and she has no plans or goals, and it bothers Grace immensely. But then she signs up for a half marathon that she and Jonah always talked about doing. Maybe she can beat him in this race. They eventually train together and Grace soon wonders whether winning is all that important and who is most important in her life.
Grace’s first person narration is full of internal and external conflict. It’s the type of thoughts kids often have but can’t express. The supporting cast of characters shine including older sister Celia, their parents, cousin Avery, and Jonah. Each brings a different personality that is often helpful, but also confusing at times for Grace.
Training for a long distance race is a great centerpiece and runners of all types will feel bonded to the main character. The 34 chapters flow effortlessly, and as Grace turns 14 before High School begins, there is an innocent first kiss and some teasing about making out. It’s all handled appropriately for readers at middle school age.
KEEPING PACE is a heartfelt, winning addition to the MG shelves.

FIVE MORE THINGS TOP LIKE ABOUT: KEEPING PACE by Laurie Morrison
The past, present, and future come together in wonderful fashion. There’s a tree house, fulfilling a summer list of goals, and the soon beginning of High School.
Kids will often choose books with older characters as kind of a window to their own future. Having Grace as an 8th grader provides a much needed age group for 6th and 7th graders to enjoy.
Cross Country running gets full exposure for those already racing and for individuals considering this sport. The training needed is outlined in great detail.
The trauma of divorce and the death of a parent are expertly portrayed by the effected characters.
Middle school is full of not only frustrations but also times when you begin to figure things out. Having that light bulb come on is a necessary part of growing up and handled here beautifully.

Baseball season has begun and what better way to get in the mood than this first title in the Baseball Buddies series. It’s about the effort it takes to play a better game by cooperating with teammates.
Luis is new to the team this year, but Coach Joe makes him team captain to the surprise of both Luis and most of his teammates. This group is more about goofing off than playing their best. The biggest distraction is loud and obnoxious Jimmie who just wants to hit homeruns.
The third person narration flows through 13 chapters. The layout is full of illustrations and the text is easy on the eyes. Perfect for new MG readers who aren’t ready for the more intense 300 page novel.
Luis is a character you will remember with his eagerness to do well and bring this team together. Being a leader is not easy but Luis figures out how to become a great one.
