#MGCarousel – January 2020
Middle Grade Carousel is a series of monthly challenges for lovers and readers of middle grade books. Our theme for January is…
Well Red
What do boiled lobsters, poinsettias, fire engines, and this month’s theme at Middle Grade Carousel have in common?
Stars in a Line
Glow-in-the-Dark
Over the next week, Ben read all the books about stars his mom had found for him, and then convinced her to let him paint his room black. At the general store in town, he bought an armful of glow-in-the-dark stars and covered the walls and ceiling of his room with them. He put the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, and the North Star directly over his bed.

Infinite Constellations
Gold Stars
It was a book. But it wasn’t like any book I had ever seen before. It was such a dark, dark blue that it looked almost black, like the sky at night. It had gold stars and moons along the back edge, and twisting silver designs on the front and back that looked like writing from a long time ago.
