My Middle Grade Summer Reads


Despite being in my thirties, I love a middle-grade book. I try to read a good amount of them for my job because I can then recommend them to the children I work with and be in the loop with new releases and what's of interest, but overall I just love reading them for myself.

I'm back with another book review! It's slightly later than planned but with going back to work and catching a cold within the first few days of being back in school with the children, I haven't been up for writing much.
