Throughout the summer months, I’m lending the top spot to one of our frequent contributors. Today the honor goes to Rosi Hollinbeck. Her blog, admired by many faithful readers, features reviews and giveaways, links to other sites with helpful writing advice, and she often shares her personal journey as an author. Be sure to follow Rosi so you don’t miss any of her posts, including today’s…

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)

I simply assemble the list based on the links that are emailed to me.
