In this hilarious second book in the Middle School and Other Disasters series, witch-in-training Heidi Heckelbeck wants her crush to notice her. Featuring black-and-white illustrations and doodles throughout and sparkly foil on the cover!

Encanto meets Coraline in this spooky middle grade story that deals with family ties, fear of change, and generational trauma as it follows a girl who must convince an old, haunted house to release its hold on her and her family.

If you are looking for a very sweet MG read, you should check Calvin and the Sugar Apples. Focusing on eleven-year-old Amelia and the loss of her best friend Calvin, a twenty-one-year-old chinchilla, this novel is beautifully written and illustrated.

What a fun little adventure ! If your middle grader loves mystery story and problem solving, this graphic novel will be the perfect read. And it is really funny too ! I l enjoyed the retelling of Sherlock Holmes and how young Finder solves the case.

What a great graphic novel ! I really love how Jonathan Hill uses science fiction to explore the themes of difference, fear of rejection and immigration. It is truly a very smart story : Identity is at the center of the plot, but in a very unexpected way.

@tanyagold @bookstodon @lgbtqbookstodon @diversebooks I really love the novel The Art of Running Away. Is is an extremely sweet MG book. I was impressed by how the author subtly included the LGBTQ topic : with simple words she goes through what it means to be an ally, and how feeling different can sometimes hurt. I highly recommend this one !

I enjoyed the story and art of this graphic novel. I love how the author incorporated difficult themes such as bullying and islamophobia and learn more about cultural representation and Ramadan through the heroine ‘s point of view. It is an amazing Middle Grade graphic novel !

In , when evil sorcerer and self-proclaimed emperor Gideon Blackthorn sends out the Black Guard, they're usually sent out in particular formations. The number of crows you see in the sky tells you why they're there...

Which, of course, is lots of fun when the kids and I go for walks and there are crows around. :ds_crow: :ds_crow:

"Oh, look! Three crows today, sis. It was nice knowing you..."

"You're being summoned, mom. What'd you do this time?"

"Wait -- is that six or seven of them? Oh great. We're in trouble..."

"If seven crows mean death, then what do fourteen crows and a robin mean?"

😂

A great debut story if you like historical fiction:

LIGHT AND AIR, a quiet story with lots of heart by Mindy Nichols Wendell about a time when tuberculosis was mostly a death sentence, has a cover!

This beautiful, light-filled cover is the work of Loika, an Australian artist with a radiant, luminous style.

LIGHT AND AIR will be out in January of 2024.

Quotes that show is not just for children:

“Strange how everything below can be such death and chaos and pain while above the sky is peace, sweet blue gentleness.”
―Shannon Hale, Book of a Thousand Days.

Teachers, librarians – Torrey Maldonado's newest , HANDS, is out in a few weeks and I cannot wait for this. His voice and experience of the true 11-year-old mindset is second to none. Read this fantastic interview between Torrey and MG book village. Turns out Torrey is narrating the audiobook himself! mgbookvillage.org/2023/01/11/i
