At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I’m reviewing National Geographic’s OUR COUNTRY’S PRESIDENTS…

And to honor Black History Month I have a bonus review at ALWAYS in the MIDDLE of KINGSTON AND THE MAGICIAN’S LOST AND FOUND.

Susan Uhlig is back with us this week and recommends the page-turning fantasy, STORY MAGIC.

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic has a S.T.E.A.M. feature on Dad’s Book of Awesome Projects.

Completely Full Bookshelf hits a triple with reviews of Molly Knox Ostertag’s The Witch Boy, The Hidden Witch, and The Midwinter Witch

Mark Baker at Carstairs Considers features Finn and the Intergalactic Lunchbox by Michael Buckley.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Daily Bread by Antoinette Truglio Martin, a well-written piece of historical fiction loosely based on her family’s immigration from Sicily in 1911.

Rosi Hollinbeck has a review of ONE TIME by Sharon Creech. Rosi also shares three helpful links for her writing friends.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA has a featured post on Class Act by Jerry Craft.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads always has a great MMGM review. Check it out along with her other features this past week including ENSNARED IN THE WOLF’S LAIR.

Andrea Mack at That’s Another Story gives us a look at WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU MANGOS by Kereen Getten.

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.
