Our challenge this July is…

Staying Alive

Middle Grade Survival Fiction

Join us in reading Middle Grade books about survival during the month of July! We recommend looking for stories with life-or-death scenarios, adventures about humans vs. nature, characters who brave natural disasters, and perils set anywhere from frozen mountain peaks to sizzling desert wastelands.
