Looking for books that fit our monthly reading challenge this October? Try one of the favorites from our home shelf!

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel October 2023: That's Fall, Folks! features the book THE MIRACULOUS by Jess Redman.

Wunder Ellis used to believe in miracles, recording any extraordinary happenings around him in The Miraculous to study. But after his newborn sister dies, Wunder stops believing.

With his new friend, Faye, Wunder begins working for a strange old woman who seems to live in an abandoned house by the cemetery. Unusual errands, broken friendships, painful goodbyes, moving forward. Even without The Miraculous, Wunder is still seeing things that are hard to explain.
