June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic is back this week with a link pack celebrating National Kids & Pets Day.

Sue Heavenrich is over at Sally’s Bookshelf with a review of The Tiger’s Nest (#5 in the Explorer Academy series) by Trudi Trueit.

Michelle Mason’s YA Debut (YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN DELAYED) is out this August, but today she has a roundup of upcoming MG debuts you should read.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews She Persisted: Claudette Colvin by Lesa Cline-Ransome and Chelsea Clinton, a new series about girls/women who’ve made a difference.

Alex Baugh at Randomly Reading is back with us today and also has some thoughts on RESCUE AT LAKE WILD by Terry Lynn Johnson.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA features the graphic novel: MEASURING UP by Lily LaMotte with art by Ann Xu.

Rosi Hollinbeck has a review and GIVEAWAY of BUG BLONSKY AND HIS SWAMP SCOUT SURVIVAL GUIDE. 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 THE CHANCE TO FLY.

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.

I’m ready for April to go away!. Too much snow around here!
