A Wish in the Dark | Christina Soontornvat

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander month so that our theme this Monday! #AAPI

Christina Soontornvat wrote the tagged book- a Thai-inspired retelling of Les Mis with magical elements that rocked my world and in doing so became a must-read author for me! In this version, the daughter of the prison warden hunts down a prison-born boy who is trying to escape his doomed life.

What titles would you recommend for #MiddleGradeMonday ?

Coming Up Short | Laurie Morrison

This week I‘ve chosen a couple of books in which softball plays a major part. Both of these are books I‘ve read, but I still need to get hold of copies to add to my class library.

Ghost | Jason Reynolds

Had to go with this great one from Jason Reynolds because we are currently in the peak of track season with my son. Ghost is about a boy who wants to play ball, but when a track coach takes him under his wing and sees his potential for running his life takes a turn for the better. 🏃🏽‍♂️

Nowhere Better Than Here | Sarah Guillory

I thought about this prompt for a bit and decided on this book. Jillian lives in a small coastal Louisiana town that is slowly disappearing due to rising water. After another storm, the school is closed due to flood damage and the bridge into town is condemned. As she fights for her town and learns more about its history, she also learns how much of it has already disappeared under water.

Happy Earth Day! Let's share #middlegrademonday books about the #environment today!

Wayward Creatures is a sweet story of friendship that happens when the main character is sentenced to restorative justice work in a park after starting a forest fire near his home.

What others have you read that fit the category???

sblbooks I haven't read anything in this category, but Wildoak is on my TBR.

Wildoak

Karisimo I really liked Wildoak too! 3w

War Horse | Michael Morpurgo

This is an amazing book narrated by a horse named Joey during WWI. Joey does different jobs and ends up traveling a lot during the course of the war. It touches on some hard topics and has some truly sad scenes, but it also has a happy ending.

The Lost Library | Wendy Mass, Rebecca Stead

This cute story about a town that lost its library to a fire is told by alternating narrators including a cat. There is a mystery to be solved, but also deals with guilt and regret with a happy ending. It's a gem of a book written by two MG masters!

Happy #middlegrademonday everyone!
