The True Blue Scouts sounds adorable. I’ll add this one to my TBR too 😂💜
Thank you for telling us that Winslow the donkey lives! I've been avoiding reading this one because I usually read children's books when I need to have a "comfort read", so now I know that it's "safe" to read this one. 😊
I almost didn’t read it for the same reason! ♥️
You read quite a bit in March! Saving Winslow sounds cute. I’m rather nostalgic about The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, as it’s a book I grew up reading in the late sixties and early seventies. You’re right, the plot is not particularly new, (especially seen in hindsight from 2024), but I think Joan Aiken’s narrative prose style and the ominous mood she evokes are what makes this book so special for me. The children in their long coats running away over the snowy hills!
I wish I would have read it as a child! 🤗
It has a fairytale quality to it. I liked it - it just wasn’t surprising or unpredictable as an adult!
Saving Winslow is one of my favorite middle grade books ❤
It’s one of mine now too.🥰
It makes me smile every time I think about it 🥰
You’ve definitely made me want to pick up Saving Winslow. That sounds so good!
The protagonist is a great kid! ♥️ The way he works through things is so endearing.
Green Ember I’ve had this on my TBR too! It sounds charming and adventurous 💜
It’s so wonderful- the whole series is!
Great books Deea 💜 My favorite middle grade book-oof so many that I really enjoyed. It had to be Fish in a Tree and Honest June 💜
Lots of love for fish in a tree this year!
Lovely Video! Some very cool books on this list. I love how you said "you guys know your own kids...I had to laugh as it is so true! The Holocaust book looks amazing. Unfortunately for me March was a bit of bad reading month for me as far as middle grade, except for an out-of-print book that I just finished. But I read a great , young adult/adult classic. Have a great day!!
It is true! Every kid is so different. My youngest has always been okay with hard subjects or scary things but my oldest is still not ok reading or watching things that are scary & hard! (She is 35!) 😂
MGM wasn’t super successful for me either but I did have a couple redeeming reads! Thank goodness 😅
Tree of life was very precious.
Oooo! Heather, I love when you find out of print books to tease me with 😅 I can’t wait to hear about it!
You read an impressive amount of middle grade books! My favorite read of the month was The Probability of Everything - it was so intense for a middle grade but so good.
I’ll look it up!
So many interesting middle grade books 🥰 And a few I will avoid
Not as strong of a mgm as I hoped for but I found a gem or two!
I only read one middle grade book in March, but I enjoyed it. It was The Door in the Wall by Marguerite de Angeli.
That is a wonderful book❣️
I’m so glad you got to read it 🤗🥰
i ususally hate spoilers but i'm happy to make an exception to learn that the donkey lives! will be on lookout for the true blue scouts..
Both are so great! True blue is adventurous, and magical and generational; Winslow is sweet and kindly and poignant!
Most of the time it’s a safe bet that the titular character lives in a middle grade. But there seems to be a slew of books out there that that is not the case. I would hate for someone not to read it because they don’t want heartbreak 💔🥰
@@novelideea i spent much of my young reading life crying about dogs and horses!
@@curioushmm9027 I had one cat story that devastated me!! 😭 many that tenderized my little heart, but one that I had nightmares about!
@@novelideea what was it?????????? oh and have you ever read gallico's silent miaow...speaking of cat stories..and not a sad one at all..
Onyeka cover is gorgeous BUT I’m sorry it fell flat for you. Thanks for the heads up about the tone.
Child needed some posterior discipline if you know what I mean!?!
Lots of middle grade reads! Sorry overall it wasn't spectacular, but sounds like there were some good ones in there.
There were! & I’m grateful for those ones!
