MMGM for July 27, 2020

Throughout the summer months, I’m lending the top spot to one of our frequent contributors. Today the honor goes to Jenni Enzor. She is an author, teacher, and explorer and regularly features MG books on her blog. Look below to see what she has for us this week.

Jenni takes the top spot with her review of Wollstonecraft Detective Agency Book 4: The Case of the Perilous Palace.

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review and GIVEAWAY of DAN UNMASKED by Chris Negron—a story of friendship, family, and grief.

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-metic features a historical fiction picture book, Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968.

A big welcome to K.A. Cummins who joins us for the first time! She has author Allen Brokken sharing the inspiration and journey behind his Tower of Light series and Book 2, Still Small Voice.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews a MG mystery, The Summer We Found the Baby by Amy Hest.

Maria Antonia at Of Books, Photography, and Tea shares her thoughts on Mañanaland by Pam Muñoz Ryan.

Matt Sweeney at Woodpecker Books comes in with a review of A Tale of Magic by Chris Colfer.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews VOICES OF YOUNG HEROES by Kelly Milner Halls. Rosi also provides three links for her writing friends.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads has another fantastic MMGM post. Be sure to check out today’s feature and all of her reviews the past week including THE BULL SHARK.

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.
