I had a fab time at B-road street books in Reading for the launch of Blackbeard’s Treasure. I got a bit overly distracted telling the children where pirates pooed. That is the trouble with an historically accurate novel. Poo Facts are important. #piratebook #childrensbooks #middlegradelit #kidlit

@VictoriaMAdams @bookstodon that is a wonderful book list.

If you're open to #middlegradelit #fantasy you might like A Wish in the Dark (Les Mis, but kids in a Thailand with magic)
If you're open to #YA fantasy, books that I've enjoyed in the past year from that genre are Six of Crow (heist) and the Folk of the Air series (fairy politics)
If you're open to classics, Middlemarch and The Woman in White would be right up your alley.

@cherryedits I am always looking for #middlegradelit , thank you for the recommendation!

My favorite #middlegradelit of 2022

An Uninterrupted View of the Sky - a Bolivian teen's life is changed when his father is unjustly sent to prison; . He has to choose: stay with his dad and sister in the prison, or move to the mountains to live with his Quechua grandparents.

The House that Wasn't There - a gentle story about a boy who moves and needs to make a new friend. Two tween introverts connect. Features lots of knitting and cats, a little bit of magic realism.
