Our Bookshelf Overfloweth

CJ and Elza are collecting watery reads this month. Join us for a dip into Middle Grade books that feature wet weather, maritime myths, aquatic animals, and splashy sorcery!

Play Along!

Join us in reading Middle Grade books featuring water during the month of July! We recommend looking for books with titles referencing a body of water, covers with seaworthy vessels, and stories that feature aquatic athletes.
Share your favorite reads this month on social media, and be sure to use the hashtag #MGCarousel!
Snap a photo for Instagram and you may see your snapshot featured in our stories.
