MMGM for October 4, 2021

HAPPY OCTOBER! Click on a leaf to reach a variety of Middle Grade reviews and features.

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I’m reviewing SUSIE B. WON’T BACK DOWN by Margaret Finnegan. There’s also a GIVEAWAY opportunity for a copy of the book.

June McCrary Jacobs at Reading, Writing & Stitch-metic shares a YA devotional, ‘Live on Purpose‘. Would also work as an upper MG title. The post includes a GIVEAWAY from the publisher.

COMPLETELY FULL BOOKSHELF has a review of Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston.

Maria Antonia at OF BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND TEA takes a look at Mystery of Magnolia Circle by Kate Klise.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews In a Flash by Donna Jo Napoli, a powerful story about Italian sisters surviving WWII in Japan.

Author Valinora Troy reviews the spooky GHOST GIRL by Ally Malinenko. Perfect choice for this time of the year.

Rosi Hollinbeck has a review of STARFISH by Lisa Fipps. Rosi also shares three helpful links for her writing friends.

Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads always has a great MMGM review. Check it out along with her other reviews last week including Friday’s feature: THE INSIDERS.

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.
