A small party for this week’s July fourth celebration… Click on the exploding fireworks to read each blogger’s post.

I have a review of THE TRIALS OF APOLLO-THE BURNING MAZE. Read all about this third book in the series via the exploding firework shell.. Author June McCrary Jacobs is featuring a non-fiction middle-grade book, ‘What is the Declaration of Independence?‘, by Author Michael C. Harris. Completely Full Bookshelf recommends Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth by E. L. Konigsburg. Rosi Hollinbeck has a review from one of her favorite authors—Ellen Klages and her new book, OUT OF LEFT FIELD. Dorine White at the Write Path  has a review Power Forward by Hena Khan. Karen Yingling always has great MMGM picks. Be sure to read her review today along with the many other choices she posted the past week.

If you would like to join in the MMGM fun and get your own spot on the walkway, all you have to do is blog about a middle grade book you love on a Monday (contests, author interviews and whatnot also count–but are most definitely not required) and email me the title of the book you’re featuring and a link to your blog at gpcolo (at) gmail (dot) com

(Make sure you put MMGM or Marvelous Middle Grade Monday in the subject line so it gets sorted accurately–and please don’t forget to say what book you’re featuring)

You MUST email me your link by Sunday evening (11 PM Eastern Time) in order to be included in the list of links for the coming Monday.

Thanks for spreading the middle grade love and for being a part of this awesome tradition begun by Shannon Messenger and carried on here at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE! (CLICK HERE FOR PAST MMGM POSTS)

*Please note: these posts are not a reflection of my own opinions on the books featured. Each blogger is responsible for their own MMGM content and I do not pre-screen reviews ahead of time, nor do I control what books they choose. I simply assemble the list based on the links that are emailed to me.
