  • @SarahAsYouWish
    @SarahAsYouWish 4 роки тому

    How fun! My favorite middle-grade is The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood. It is book one in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, and the audiobooks for this series are absolutely amazing! The book is clever, engaging, whimsical and I absolutely adore it.

    @susanveligor364 4 роки тому

    I’m excited to read Howls! As for Tuck Everlasting... I love That Book! Every year I do a novel study with my fourth graders and we read Tuck. The students always look forward to the next chapter and after we finish reading, we watch the movie together. 💖📚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • @SindyValeria
    @SindyValeria 4 роки тому

  • @sassyreaderj
    @sassyreaderj 4 роки тому

    Middle-grade reads are my favorite! One book I ran into and have been wanting to read is "A Kind of Paradise" by Amy Rebecca Tan. It is about a 13-year-old girl who got in trouble at her school towards the end of her school year and she has to spend her summer vacation volunteering at the local library as punishment but I believe she doesn't think its punishment by the end of the summer. It sounds like a cozy read.

  • @mada14potter
    @mada14potter 4 роки тому

    I guess it’s a good thing I’m nearly done reading Howl’s moving castle. I have seen the movie as well. There are quite a few differences so far and I’m really excited to see how the book ends as well ☺️

  • @tiffanief6181
    @tiffanief6181 4 роки тому

  • @DogEaredPage
    @DogEaredPage 4 роки тому

    Wow, that copy of Howl’s! This is such a cute book club and so true to you. ♥️ Isn’t it sad that US Netflix hadn’t gotten the Studio Ghibli films? 😭
    My favorite middle grade in recent years is probably going to have to be Nevermoor. City of Ghosts is a close second!

  • @cassie6281
    @cassie6281 4 роки тому

    One of my favorite middle grades is Walking With Miss Millie by Tamara Bundy. Its about a young girl named Alice who moves to Rainbow, Georgia with her mom and brother who is deaf. Long story short, she starts to walk with her neighbor Miss Millie and her dog Clarence and Alice gets to learn more about her dad that left. It's a very short and sweet coming of age book.

    What a cute idea for a book club!! I don’t read much middle grade but have wanted to pick it up more especially watching your channel and as my daughter gets older and is starting to enjoy chapter books. I’m not sure which of these count as middle grade but I love The Chronicles of Narnia, A little princess, Misty of Chincoteague, sideway stories from wayside school, Anne of green gables, and redwall series by Brian Jacques. At least one of those count right?! Lol

  • @2345msbubbles
    @2345msbubbles 4 роки тому

    A middle grade I would like to recommend is "where the watermelons grow" by Cindy Baldwin. The book shows how the MC deals with her mother's schizophrenia. It's amazing and done very well and handled with a lot of care and sensitivity. Please consider making this one of the choices!

  • @JMShelley
    @JMShelley 4 роки тому

    Yay! So happy. Absoloutly adore both your channels & middle grade! Match made in heaven. (From the UK so can't enter but thought I'd join in with questions.) My favourite MG (so hard to pick) is The Turnaway Girls by Hayley Chewins. Her writing practically sings. It's so beautiful & empowering & unique. Think you would love it! And a book rec for the book club would be..The Sisters of Straygarden Place (which comes out in October), The Unadoptables (which comes out in June) or The Forest of Stars (which comes out in September.) So many more! But think these would be super magical. 🥰💕✨🧚

I also remember reading Tuck Everlasting and loving it so I'm excited to re-read that! Also you can contact me on Instagram or Twitter at @alistofsydneys

I also love the idea of baking and slumber party vibes! My favorite middle grade series was the Goosebumps. I just love the spooky and not scary vibes it gave. That would be fun to do during October for the nostalgia vibes. My favorite stand alone was Stargirl. That one was absolutely adorable! My instagram is @jessilynn317

    @dandelionsprout 4 роки тому

    My favorite Middle grade book is The Wide Awake Princess by E.D. Baker. It was the book that really got me into reading. It is a retelling of sleeping beauty told from the perspective of her younger sister. She doesn't fall asleep with the rest of the castle and now has to find a way to save everyone. It is so whimsical and wonderful and I still read it at least once a year.

    My favorite Middlegrade had to be Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carmen since it was the series that got me into reading and I love it so much. It's kind of like a mystery series about Sarah and Ryan who investigate the strange secrets around their town and a dredge that was left abandoned in the woods after an accident happened to a miner named Joe Bush resulting in stories of his ghost haunting the abandoned dredge.

    I love that you're doing this because middle grade is an audience that I'd like to get into more. I like the idea of alternating between "classic" middle grade and more contemporary middle grade. Like maybe Matilda by Roald Dahl and The School of Good and Evil by Soman Chainani as a pairing? Also, my handle for Insta and twitter is @CaitlinEMcCann.
