Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel July 2023: Staying Alive features the book MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN by Jean Craighead George.

Every kid thinks about running away at one point or another; few get farther than the end of the block. Young Sam Gribley gets to the end of the block and keeps going—all the way to the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York.

There, Sam learns to live off the land, befriends a few animal companions, and learns to appreciate the freedom, independence, and adventure that he finds in the mountains.

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel July 2023: Staying Alive features the book THE DISASTER DAYS by Rebecca Behrens.

Hannah Steele loves living on Pelling, a tiny island near Seattle. It’s a little disconnected from the outside world, but she’s always felt completely safe there.

When she’s asked to babysit her next-door neighbors after school, Hannah is ready to put her babysitting class skills to work. No big deal.

Then the shaking begins.

The terrifying earthquake only lasts four minutes but it changes everything, damaging the house, knocking out the power, and making cell service nonexistent. Even worse, the ferry and the bridge connecting the kids to help—and their parents—are both blocked. Which means they’re stranded. And Hannah’s in charge.
