At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of Secondhand Dogs by Carolyn Crimi.

Natalie Aguirre at Literary Rambles has an interview with debut author Cliff Burke and a GIVEAWAY of his MG contemporary An Occasionally Happy Family.

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing, & Stitch-Metic features Kid Authors: True Tales of Childhood from Famous Writers.

Sue Heavenrich is over at Sally’s Bookshelf with a review of Nina Soni, Master of the Garden, by Kashmira Sheth.

COMPLETELY FULL BOOKSHELF shares some thoughts on Kyle’s Little Sister by BonHyung Jeong.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA features VANDERBEEKERS LOST AND FOUND by Karina Yan Glaser.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Houndsley and Catina at the Library by James Howe. It is a chapter book and a perfect summer read for emerging readers.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews and has a GIVEAWAY of Amy McDougall, Master Matchmaker. Rosi also shares 3 links for her writer friends.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads has great reviews all week and today for MMGM she features … TEN THOUSAND TRIES and LARGER THAN LIFE.

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.
