MMGM for February 1, 2021

Click on a heart to reach a blogger’s post

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of CLUES TO THE UNIVERSE by Christina Li.

Sue Heavenrich‘s debut picture book (13 WAYS TO EAT A FLY) releases soon, but she had time to review Exploring the Elements: A Complete Guide to the Periodic Table, by Isabel Thomas.

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic highlights Black History Month fiction and non-fiction books she has featured on her blog the past 3 years.

Sue Kooky from Kitty Cat at the Library returns to the MMGM party with a review of Breaking Damian.

Completely Full Bookshelf reviews Snapdragon by Kat Leyh, a magical realist graphic novel.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA has a post about The Science of Breakable Things by Tae Keller.

Andrea L. Mack at That’s Another Story is also back with us this week and has a review of ANA ON THE EDGE by A.J.Sass.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Fighting Words by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley.

Rosi Hollinbeck has a review of ONE LAST SHOT by John David Anderson. Rosi also shares three helpful links for her writing friends.

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 review of BUMP.

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.
