At ALWAYS in the MIDDLE I have a review of BLUE STARS:THE VICE PRINCIPAL PROBLEM.

Brenda at Log Cabin Library reviews  Haru: Book 1: Spring (Volume 1) by Joe Latham,  an interesting graphic novel

Carol Baldwin has a post not so much related to MG books, but I’m sure you will it enjoy it. She shares how writing helped connect food with people and then shares a few poems from her ace teen reviewer, Elliott Kurta.

Jennifer Bohnhoff reviews two new middle grade historical novels that have a baseball theme. One is set in the 20s, the other in the 30s and they’re both published by a small house that focuses on middle grade and YA. She is also GIVING AWAY one copy of each.  Welcome back to MMGM, Jennifer!

Patricia Tilton at Children’s Books Heal shares some more book love to Dazzle Makes a Wish by Cynthia Lord.

Valinora Troy reviews THE PAWNSHOP OF BROKEN DREAMS by Victoria Williamson.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS by Sara Farizan. Also included in this week’s post are three links of interest for Rosi’s writing friends.

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.
