these MG reviews and features!

************************************

At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of ANYBODY HERE SEEN FRENCHIE? by Leslie Connor.

Natalie Aguirre at Literary Rambles features a guest post by debut author Leigh Lewis with a giveaway of her MG nonfiction Pirate Queens: Dauntless Women Who Dared to Rule the High Seas.

Author June McCrary Jacobs shares her vintage Valentine collection and a short essay of Valentine’s Day memories in her classroom when she was a teacher. Lots of photos are included!

Sue Heavenrich has a couple browsable nonfiction books for the 7-10’s over at Archimedes Notebook.

Carol Baldwin’s young reviewer, Elliott Kurta, did such a great job last week he’s been invited back. Today Elliott shares his thoughts on I ESCAPED NORTH KOREA. Included is a GIVEAWAY opportunity for the book.

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal has a review of Mightier Than the Sword: Rebels, Reformers & Revolutionaries Who Changed the World Through Writing by Rochelle Melander. 

Maria Antonia is all in on the theme for the week with THE SECRET VALENTINE by Melody Reed.

Max @ COMPLETELY FULL BOOKSHELF recommends The Beatryce Prophecy by Kate DiCamillo. 

Rosi Hollinbeck has a review of THE CANYON’S EDGE by Dusti Bowling. 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 check it out along with her other reviews last week like last Saturday’s BUTTON PUSHER.

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.
