We host month-long themed reading challenges designed so you can pick and choose what books you like to read. Our Middle Grade book blog will be updated with this theme in mind, so be sure to subscribe for updates and recommendations from our shelf to yours .
Our challenge this January is…
The Ingenious Reader
Middle Grade Books about Technology
Join us in reading Middle Grade books about technology through the month of January! We recommend looking for stories about inventors, book covers that feature gadgets from all eras, or characters with hobbies or interests that make good use of the most state of the art equipment.
Play Along!
