MMGM for February 8, 2021

Happy early Valentine’s Day to our great MMGM family of bloggers and dedicated readers. Click on a bear to reach a blogger’s post.

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of IDA AND THE UNFINISHED CITY by Carolyn Cohagan

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic has a historical fiction feature on Author Linda Sue Park’s book, ‘Prairie Lotus’.

Completely Full Bookshelf is recommending Beetle & the Hollowbones by Aliza Layne.

Jenni Enzor is featuring Macy McMillan and the Rainbow Goddess by Shari Green.

Look who’s back! It’s Kim Aippersbach. She reviews JINXED by Amy McCullough.

Stephanie Robinson at Fairday’s Blog returns with a review of UNICORN ISLAND by Donna Galanti.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews The Space We’re In by Katya Balin, about a boy who has to learn to deal with the challenges of living with a younger autistic brother.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA has a featured post about Three Keys by Kelly Yang.

Rosi Hollinbeck has a review and GIVEAWAY of BECAUSE OF THAT CROW by Beverley Brenna. 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 celebration of her 15 year Blogiversary.

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.
