So You Want to Read Middle Grade?


Since I've been hosting this series, I've been thinking a lot about middle grade books. I love middle grade and when I look back on my reading, I always have loved middle grade-even before they were called middle grade! They are as popular as ever, so I thought it would be interesting to keep track of what middle grade books I was asked for while working in the library one evening. Here's what I was asked for from tweens:

-Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
-Ivy's Ever After by Dawn Lairamore
-Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
-Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling
-The Cupcake Diaries by Coco Simon

And some non-fiction subjects:
-Books on gaming-specifically Minecraft and Halo
-Astronomy
-The American Revolution
-Peyton Manning Biography

I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where ...
