Top Ten Tuesday: Middle Grade Adventure Novels
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is Books I Loved that Made Me Want More Books Like Them. It’s a little too long of a title, so I abridged it to Middle Grade Adventure Novels. I love an adventure novel that keeps me on the edge of my seat – if it’s got some intrigue and mystery, even better!
Here are ten middle grade adventure novels that should start your child’s summer off on the right foot – full of adventure! Adventure is such a fun genre because it crosses over genres very easily. From “realistic fiction” (kids can’t often jet set off on their own) to mystery, to fantasy, adventure really spans genres. You can find these titles at your local library or favorite independent book store (check bookshop.org).
