I adore middle-grade fiction, and I loved reading them to my daughters when they were younger. I still find myself picking up a middle-grade novel at the library to enjoy on my own from time to time. During this time of library closures, I have found myself pulling old favorites off our shelves with some regularity. Good middle-grade authors create wonderfully complex characters and highly interesting plot lines. Middle-grade novels are engaging and thought-provoking, and they stay with the reader and stand the test of time. Although they are intended for 8- to 12-year-olds, I think that middle-grade novels make great read-aloud books for younger children, as well as silent reading for all ages.
Here is a list of wonderful middle-grade novels for reading aloud or quietly in a cozy corner this summer: (Some of these books may not be appropriate read aloud books for younger children, so I organized the list from more appropriate to less appropriate for younger audiences.)
I hope your Tuesday includes moments of wonder and time spent with a good book.
