✨ Middle Grade Book Recs ✨

-


I have read hundreds of middle-grade books and I can't wait to share my recommendations with you!




Wonder 

Wonder, by R.J Palacio, is about a boy named August who has a genetic facial difference. After being homeschooled, he goes to school for the first time in grade 5. 
Auggie has to cope with the reactions to his unusual appearance and middle-school drama. Some kids are mean to him and want him to get out of school.

This beautiful story is narrated from different points of view like Auggie and his sister.


Front Desk

Mia Tang lives in a Motel, not a big house. Every day her parents clean the hotel and she manages the front desk and tends to the customers.

Her parents let immigrants stay in the motel, for free. If mean Mr.Yao, the motel's owner, finds it out they're doomed.

Mia wants to be a writer. But how can she, when her mom thinks that she should stick to maths since English isn't her best subject?

Mia needs all her hard work, kindness, and courage to get through the year. Will she be able to hold on to her job, help the immigrants, escape Mr. Yao, and go for her dreams? 


The Girl Who Drank The Moon

"There is magic in starlight, of course.

This is well known. Moonlight, however.

This is a different story. Moonlight is magic.

Ask anyone you like"

Every year, the youngest baby in Protectorate is left in the forest as an offering to the witch. The people believe that the sacrifice will keep the witch from terrorizing their place. 

But the witch, Xan, is very kind and gentle. Xan rescues the abandoned babies and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing them with starlight during the journey.

One year, she accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. So Xan decides to raise the girl as her own. She names her Luna. To protect Luna and everyone from the magic, Xan locks the power deep inside Luna. When Luna's 13th birthday approaches, her magic starts to come out, when Xan is away.

Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. It is up to Luna to protect her loved ones before something really bad happens.

#MiddleGradeMarch Middle-Grade March is arriving! I am going to start recommending my favorite Middle-grade books, so you can add them to your TBR! Midnight At The Barclay Hotel It was an amazing read! This was the first book I read which related to middle-grade mysteries.  JJ’s mom and 4 others get an all-expenses-paid weekend getaway at the illustrious Barclay hotel. JJ loves ghost hunting. What could be better than spending the weekend ghost hunting in a haunted hotel? He convinces his very busy CEO mom, to accept the invitation. Of course, he wouldn't have done it if he knew they would be stuck there in the midst of a murder mystery! When he arrives at the hotel, they get to know that his mom is one of the suspects! With his new friends, Emma and Penny, he has to track down a killer, clear his mother’s name and probably meet a ghost! Midnight at the Barclay hotel was a fast-paced novel full of fun and of course mysteries. I totally recommend this book. ~Nishi
