Great Middle Grade Reads discussion

Read any good MG books in March? Tell us about them, and what you liked most. Please use the 'add book' link if it shows on your system :)

I read this great book called The Glass Castle. It was full of surprises and I truly loved it. Hopefully some of you guys could read it too. I got it off of Netgalley, and I don't think its published yet. Also, I read the second book in the Hatchet series. Its called The River. Im so glad I started reading this series again. Its a true delight.

Some of the books I read in March were Sunny Side Up By: Jennifer L. Holm

And Roller Girl By: Victoria Jamison :)

I read a lot of books in March because I was preparing for this month's A to Z Challenge. But the best MG I read was by Anthony Horowitz, who's very popular in the UK (I don't know how well he's known internationally) and I read South by South East, book 3 in a series, but fine as a standalone!

It's full of puns and groans :)

A tie for me this month between The Honest Truth and Orbiting Jupiter. Both are excellent books!

Half Upon a Time

I started reading this series with my daughter because we loved the first two Story Thieves books and wanted to try something else by James Riley. This one was also terrific. Fractured fairy tales are pretty popular lately but Riley is especially engaging and the book is full of action

I also read Orbiting Jupiter; emotionally rich, but also heartbreaking. And I listened to a beautiful audiobook rendition of Echo. Highly recommend for any music lovers out there.

Jemima, my boys love Anthony Horowitz -- one of these days I will get a chance to read some of his books.

I had the pleasure of reading Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry. This book is perfect for MG and YA readers who enjoy apocalyptic novels with suspense, meaning and a hint of romance :)

I read What Came from the Stars. I love the way Gary Schmidt builds his characters. And the humor is so spot on.

That sounds like a good book.
