MMGM for June 17, 2019

Summer officially begins on Friday! More time to read! Click on each blogger’s cool sun for their feature or review.

Here at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of RETURN OF THE EVENING STAR by Diane Rios.

June McCrary Jacobs at ‘Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic’ reviews another recently-released ‘Who HQ?’ biography, ‘Who is Norman Rockwell?’

S.A. Larsen at Writer’s Alley is hosting Middle Grade Author Tara Tyler and her latest release WINDY HOLLOW and she’s offering up a pretty sweet giveaway!

Susan Uhlig returns and is over the moon for Natalie Lloyd’s OVER THE MOON.

Making up for lost time, Susan Uhlig has a second post and thinks THE STORM KEEPER’S ISLAND is a keeper.

Completely Full Bookshelf recommends Nooks & Crannies by Jessica Lawson.

Maria Antonia at Of Books, Photography, and Tea reviews Genevieve’s War by Patricia Reilly Giff

A GARDEN OF BOOKS has a post on a new book being released this week called Space Dragons by Robin Bennett.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews PAY ATTENTION CARTER JONES by Gary D. Schmidt. Rosi also has some not to be missed links for her writing friends.

Suzanne Warr at Tales from the Raven spotlights Have Sword, Will Travel, by Garth Nix and Sean Williams. Suzanne also has some news she is pleased to share.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads has another informative MMGM post. Be sure to check out today’s feature and all of her reviews the past week including PLANET EARTH IS BLUE.

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.
