Here at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of OUT OF PLACE by Jennifer Blechar.

Sue Heavenrich at Sally’s Bookshelf has a double offering. Up first is a featured review of OPERATION FROG EFFECT by Sarah Scheerger.

Sue also has Taking Cover, One Girl’s Story Of Growing Up During The Iranian Revolution by Nioucha Homayoonfar. The book has been getting a lot of buzz on MMGM.

June McCrary Jacobs at ‘Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic’ has a special feature on Goodreads children’s book lists focusing on great books from the early and mid-twentieth century!

Maria Antonia at Of Books, Photography, and Tea reviews a historical novel about Stalinist Russia called The Impossible Journey by Gloria Whelan.

Completely Full Bookshelf recommends Positively Izzy by Terri Libenson.

Beth Mitchell at Imaginary Friends has a review of Bodyguard: Recruit by Chris Bradford.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Chasing Helicity Into the Wind: Book 2 by Ginger Zee. A timely read with our unpredictable weather and the upcoming hurricane season.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews ABSOLUTELY ALFIE AND THE FIRST WEEK FRIENDS by Sally Warner. Rosi also has some not to be missed links for her writing friends.

A Garden of Books has an upcoming release, Voyage to the Metal Moon from the new graphic novel series Escape from Planet Alcatraz series by Michael Dahl.

Julie at Bookish. Intoxication has been loving MG fiction lately and reviews The Runaways by Ulf Stark.

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 LET ME FIX THAT FOR YOU.

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.
