ALWAYS in the MIDDLE has a review of THE FRIENDSHIP WAR by Andrew Clements. Click the MLK graphic on the left to reach the review and do the same for each of the other sites below.
June McCrary Jacobs at ‘Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic’ has a another intriguing S.T.E.A.M. book, ‘Low-Mess Crafts for Kids’.
Suzanne Warr at Tales from the Raven turns the spotlight on a half dozen 2019 MG debuts who participated in the recent #MGlitchat.
Completely Full Bookshelf sneaks back to the past and recommends Matilda by Roald Dahl.
Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Mangoes, Mischief, and Tales of Friendship by Chitra Soundar, a book  inspired by traditional Indian folklore.
Beth Mitchell at Imaginary Friends has a review of 24 Hours in Nowhere by Dusti Bowling
Faith Hough at Life’s An Art! is back with another review—The Faithful Spy, by John Hendrix.
A big MMGM welcome to Maria Antonia who compares two books about Hurricane Katrina: Finding Someplace by Denise Lewis Patrick followed by Zane and the Hurricane by Rodman Philbrick.
Andrea Mack at That’s Another Story takes a look at Eliza Bing is (Not) a Star by Carmella Van Vleet.
Rosi Hollinbeck reviews NO FIXED ADDRESS by Susin Nielsen.  Be sure to also click on her links for writers as they’re always helpful.
Michael Gettel-Gilmartin at Middle Grade Mafioso is featuring BOW WOW by Spencer Quinn.
Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads always has an informative MMGM post. Be sure to check out today’s feature and all of her reviews the past week.
If you would like to join in the MMGM fun and get your own spot in the parade, 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.
