Our Middle Grade blog is a collection of quotes, games, recommendations, and challenges for fellow readers! Here are a few places to start if you’re looking to play along.
Middle Grade Carousel
Middle Grade Carousel is run by CJ & Elza, a dynamic mother-daughter duo. We encourage readers to be adventurous, have fun, and always keep an eye out for interesting details and connections.
#MGCarousel – April 2024
We are reading Middle Grade books about rivalry through the month of April! We recommend looking for books with kooky contestants and prize-winning athletes, stories about sibling rivalries and classroom clashes, or books in which good battles against evil.
Book Bingo: March & April 2024
Our book bingo card contains 25 squares with prompts relating to things from Middle Grade books. Try and cover 5 squares in a line—up, down, or diagonally—or aim to fill the whole card if you’re a speedy reader. Our current challenge runs from March 1 – April 30.
