MMGM for August 23, 2021

Click on a green book to open up some great Middle Grade reviews and features.

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I’m reviewing THE DOUBLE LIFE OF DANNY DAY by Mike Thayer, the second in my series of MG book reviews with boy protagonists.

COMPLETELY FULL BOOKSHELF is recommending Allergic by Megan Wagner Lloyd and Michelle Mee Nutter.

Mark Baker at Carstairs Considers is back with us again this week with a review of Short Cuts by Sigmund Brouwer.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews Rescue at Lake Wild by Terry Lynn Johnson, a perfect story for readers interested in wildlife rehabilitation.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA shares several thoughts on BLACKBIRD GIRLS by Anne Blankman.

Stephanie Robinson at Fairday’s Blog is featuring Many Points of Me by Caroline Gertler.

Alex Baugh at Randomly Reading has an old favorite this week, Three Keys by Kelly Yang.

Rosi Hollinbeck features a double review and GIVEAWAY of THE GENIUS UNDER THE TABLE and PICTURING A NATION. Rosi also shares three helpful links for her writing friends.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads fills her blog with great reviews all week and today for MMGM she features: EYES OF THE FOREST.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

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.
