Top Ten Tuesday: Middle Grade Must-Read Mysteries
Mysteries were one of my absolute favorite genres growing up – and they still are today, so it wasn’t hard to create this list – Top Ten Tuesday: Middle Grade Must-Read Mysteries! I love puzzles, murder mysteries, absolutely everything, but I especially love anything that has to do with art history as well. In fact, I considered an art history minor in college and also thought about a joint museum/library degree in graduate school. I never thought about it too much until I was putting this list together, but one of my all-time favorite books as a kid was From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler – probably not a coincidence!

My kids will like this list. The only one they’ve read already is From The Mixed-Up Files… (it was amusing to have to answer their questions about what a newspaper was! They know now).

I know it’s an old school book – and definitely showing its age, but I love it so much I couldn’t keep it off the list!
