Click a happy green check mark to reach a blogger’s post!

Here at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of BAD ORDER, an interesting extraterrestrial tale.

Susan Uhlig has a fun contemporary mg novel today–BOY BITES BUG.

Maria Antonia at Of Books, Photography, and Tea reviews a book about a ragtag flock of Canada geese: Skylar by Mary Cuffe-Perez.

Suzanne Warr at Tales from the Raven spotlights The Parker Inheritance, by Varian Johnson.

Rosi Hollinbeck has a non-fiction selection this week with a review and GIVEAWAY Leonardo’s Science Workshop by Heidi Olinger. Rosi also has some great links for her writing friends.

A GARDEN OF BOOKS has a review of The Morgans and the Jewel of Bar-Ran by K.T. Dady.

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 FOR BLACK GIRLS LIKE ME.

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)

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.
