Top Ten Tuesday: Extraordinary Book Titles
I love these posts because they always make me think about books in new and different ways. I am a person, I will admit, that judges books by covers and titles. The more interesting the title, the more likely I am to read it. I love the way words sound when paired together, especially when they’re unexpected or very poetic. So here are a list of extraordinary middle grade book titles for today’s theme.
