At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of TIDESONG by Wendy Xu.

June McCrary Jacobs has today’s blog tour stop for Author Gwen Richardson’s Boss Women:  Seven African-American Women Who Built Their Businesses From the Ground Up. Included is an Author Guest Post and a generous giveaway.

Carol Baldwin features an INTERVIEW WITH MONICA ROE, AUTHOR OF AIR, and a GIVEAWAY– PART II.

Sue Heavenrich has a fun chapter book for ages 7-10s at Sally’s Bookshelf this week, The Daily Bark: The Puppy Problem.

Max at COMPLETELY FULL BOOKSHELF returns with a second look at a truly lovely novel: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. 

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal reviews She Persisted: Oprah Winfrey by Renee Watson.  It is a chapter book series about brave women inspired by the NYT bestseller, She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton.

Valinora Troy features a review of The Last Cuentista – a finalist in the Cybils EMG Spec fiction category.

Maria Antonio shares another title in a feature called 100 Years of Newbery Books. Today it is ROLLER GIRL by Victoria Jamieson.

Rosi Hollinbeck shares her review of Mystery on Magnolia Circle by Kate Klise. Rosi also has three links for her writing friends.

Karen Yingling at Mrs. Yingling Reads always has a fantastic MMGM book to share. Be sure to take a look along with her other reviews last week including OPERATION DO-OVER.

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.
