#MGMarch
blurb

Connect the Stars | Marisa de los Santos, David Teague
post image

Rounded out the month these titles for #MGMarch. I think what drives me to middle grade stories is the unique plots, the lack of overdone tropes. And yet the strong tapping in to the human condition almost always emerging…

Eggs I‘ve read only 1 of these: Connect the ⭐️⭐️. What was your favorite? 12mo
SarahBradley I liked the Hand in Hand. Written by a teacher! I lend to you! 12mo

A gem of a story. Funny, sad, beautiful. A self-discovery story at its finest. Just read it. 😀#MGMarch @Eggs @megnews

Nowhere Boy | Katherine Marsh

Absolutely loved Nowhere Boy. A forged friendship of two boys, one of whom is a Syrian refugee all alone in Belgium amid the 2015 terrorist attacks in France. Tropical Secrets, a more lyrical narrative, highlights a friendship of a Cuban girl and Jewish refugee while the island experiences turbulent times of WWII. #middlegrademarch #MGMarch

How to Steal a Dog | Barbara O'Connor

Kicking off #MGMarch with two delightful dog stories, one told from the point of view of a traumatized service dog, and the other a reminder of the importance of empathy. @Eggs

This is a light pick for me and seemed to suffer like many middle books of a series. Our skeleton bard is still on the hunt to find out who he is and he's still accompanied by his trusty companion, the gelatinous goo. The new characters we meet here aren't as charming or cute as in Vol 1. The artwork continues to be amazing and we moved toward our goal.

Volume 3 comes out this month & there's a website where you can listen to Stitch's songs.

🍫 🍭What's your favorite candy?🍭🍫
Take 5, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Chocolate-covered marshmallow egg/tree/pumpkin shapes here!

This was a light pick for me, but might be better for the intended MG kids. We follow 4 kids through a candymaking competition with layers of the day including through each kid's POV. This isn't just marshmallow fluff, though. These kids are dealing with some real life issues and ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick and there's some humor. Early on, uptight rich kid Phillip says "we're losing daylight here" and he's exactly the type of kid you'd expect to say it!? Daisy has an outlandish background and it was rather unbelievable.
This had been on my radar for a couple of years so I was glad for the chance to read the book. Keep the candy close by! Thanks @megnews #mgmarch #middlegrademarch
