25 Star Reviewed Middle Grade Titles
It’s been a busy week here on the blog – Wednesday I posted about the detriments of assigning books as “boy” or “girl” books and on Thursday I gave some great tips about booktalking/reader’s advisory and today I’m offering a list of titles that have receive at least one star review in the past year and a half. These titles would be a great starting point to suggest to middle grade readers looking for a new book to read. A side note: These are not all the star reviewed titles over the past two years, if you want to take a look at the comprehensive list, check out Jen J.’s Booksheets, where she has actually created a spreadsheet of all starred reviews from six different journals! It’s an amazing resource!
