MMGM for April 5, 2021

Click on an umbrella to reach a blogger’s post.

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I’m reviewing HOMER ON THE CASE by Henry Cole. If you like birds this one is for you.

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic has a timely tribute to Beverly Cleary who passed away at age 104.

Susan Uhlig is excited about the new release of THE ACCIDENTAL APPRENTICE by Amanda Foody.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Unicorn Island (Vol. 1) by Donna Galanti, a delightful contemporary fantasy.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA features HENRY AND BEEZUS by Beverly Cleary in celebration of Beverly Cleary’s books.

Mark Baker at Carstairs Considers returns to the MMGM lineup today with a review of The Chosen One by James Riley.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews 365 Days to Alaska by Cathy Carr. Rosi also shares three 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 her thoughts on UPSTAGED.

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.

Nice round up here, Greg! Thanks for including Unicorn Island! And I’m so happy to see one of my favorite new books here, too, 365 Days to Alaska by Cathy Carr. 🙂

Thanks for including my recent post. I really do appreciate it, and tend to forget to email you until late on Monday morning.
