At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of 1 FOR ALL by Sean McCollum plus an interview with the author.

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic features a historical fiction picture book for young middle-graders, Under the Quilt of Night, about the Underground Railroad.

Australian author S.W. Lothian makes a rare but welcome appearance to our MMGM list. He reviews JIM MORGAN AND THE PIRATES OF THE BLACK SKULL BY JAMES MATLACK RANEY.

Completely Full Bookshelf returns this week with a review of All Together Now by Hope Larson.

Alex Baugh at Randomly Reading has Barbara Dee’s My Life in the Fish Tank.

Rosi Hollinbeck has a review and GIVEAWAY of SKUNK AND BADGER by Amy Timberlake. Rosi also shares three helpful links for her writing friends.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk, a beautiful story about a girl finding her gifts during the Great Depression.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA features The Day I was Erased by Lisa Thompson.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads always has a great MMGM review. Check it out along with her other features this past week including a look at the AMERICAN DOG series.

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.
