We host month-long themed reading challenges are designed to allow you to pick your own pace and reading selection! Our Middle Grade book blog will be updated with this theme in mind, so be sure to subscribe for updates if you want to stay in the loop.
Our challenge this January is…
Hold On to Your Hat
Middle Grade Books about Hats and Headgear
Join us in reading Middle Grade books with a sense of style through the month of January! We recommend looking for books from historical periods, characters with an interest in sporty accessories, or stories fashioned to showcase occupations or hobbies that come with a dress code.
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.
- Recommend your own theme-related favorites or share what you plan on reading. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #MGCarousel!
