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 February is…
All Things Aquatic
Middle Grade Books about Marine Animals
Join us in reading Middle Grade books about marine animals through the month of February! We recommend looking for stories about underwater explorers, books from a sea animal’s point of view, and covers with crustaceans, cetaceans, or coral.
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.
