ALWAYS in the MIDDLE had planned to feature another book, but its release was delayed. I moved up a review scheduled for next month with HISTORY SMASHERS: THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS by Kate Messner.

Natalie Aguirre at Literary Rambles shares a guest post by A.Y. Chan with a giveaway of her MG The Legendary Mo Seto.

Brenda at LOG CABIN LIBRARY reviews The Long Way Around by Anne Nesbet, an author she has enjoyed in past books.

Carol Baldwin has a review and GIVEAWAY of ME AND THE MISSOURI MOON by Nancy Stewart.

Faith Hough is back again this week with a review of The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman, by Gennifer Choldenko.

Patricia Tilton @ Children’s Books Heal reviews  Meg Goes to America by Katy Hammel.

Kasey Giard at The Story Sanctuary has a review of Not Nothing by Gayle Forman.

Rosi Hollinbeck reviews A KID’S GUIDE TO PLANTS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST: with Cool Facts, Activities and Recipes by Phillipa Joly. Rosi also shares 3 links of interest for her 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.
