Our month-long Middle Grade reading challenge is designed so you can choose your own books and set a comfortable pace. All you need to play along are books which match the month’s featured theme.
Our challenge this October is…
That’s Fall, Folks!
Autumnal Middle Grade books
Join us in reading Middle Grade books with seasonal themes during the month of October! We recommend giving stories with autumnal settings a try, find a character who has a seasonally-appropriate name, learn more about the holidays that fall during this transitional time of year, or take your cue from the colorful foliage arrayed on book covers.
Play Along!
- Create your own reading list for the month based on our current challenge. Can’t think of any books that fit? Don’t worry! There will be lots of ideas shared on the blog throughout the month.
