MMGM for July 13, 2020

Throughout the summer months, I’m lending the top spot to one of our frequent contributors. Today the honor goes to Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads. This super human librarian and blogger posts reviews every day. Last week alone Karen featured SCARE ME —— NOT YOUR AMERICAN GIRL—— MUSE SQUAD: THE CASSANDRA CURSE—— WARRIOR DOG——LOVE, JACARANDA—— and SOMETHING TO SAY. Wow! Quite the lineup!

See what Karen has in store for us today by clicking on the purple arrow and then do the same for all the other fantastic bloggers below.

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of A FIELD GUIDE TO GETTING LOST by Joy McCullough.

June McCrary Jacobs has a Book Blast for her new MG sewing book, Kids Love to Stitch – Book 1: Picnic Projects. There’s a Giveaway, an exclusive excerpt, photos, & a few words from June.

Jenni Enzor reviews WRONG WAY SUMMER by Heidi Lang, a book I recently enjoyed.

Maria Antonia at Of Books, Photography, and Tea covers Coop Knows the Scoop by Taryn Souders

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal features another chapter book, Stella Endicott and the Anything-I-Possible Poem by Kate DiCamillo.

Rosi Hollinbeck gives us her take on THE UNTEACHABLES by Gordon Korman. Rosi also shares some links to great resources for her writing friends.

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.
