MMGM for August 24, 2020

Click on a blogger’s to reach their site.

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of THE PLACES WE SLEEP by Caroline Brooks DuBois.

Matt Sweeney at Woodpecker Books shares his thoughts on a hilarious story, The Train to Impossible Places by P.G. Bell, book one of a trilogy.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews a fun novel, The Elephant’s Girl by Celesta Rimington.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews MORE THAN MARMALADE by Roseanne Tolin. 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 STITCHERS.

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.

I don’t know if people are vacationing or if school is starting everywhere, but this is a short list this week. Thanks, Greg!

  Late August is normal slow time for MMGM. It’s school starting and the end of summer. I thought this year might me different with the mixed up school starts, but it didn’t happen. I enjoyed the shorter time to get the MMGM post ready. Those Sunday nights roll around much too quick
