I reread so many books when I was in middle school, and they were mostly the ones I'd read in late elementary school. I had trouble finding a lot of new books that actually suited what I wanted in a middle grade story. And since then, there have been a bunch of wonderful middle grade titles that I would've loved to have at that age.
1. Absolutely Truly by Heather Vogel Frederick
2. Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed
3. Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga
4. Amina's Voice by Hena Khan
5. Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George
6. Some Kind of Happiness by Claire Legrand
7. Caterpillar Summer by Gillian McDunn
8. Breakout by Kate Messner
9. Wish by Barbara O'Connor
(Considering how much I loved Shiloh as a kiddo, I would've been all over this book as a preteen.)
10. The Shadow Cipher by Laura Ruby
11. The Length of a String by Elissa Brent Weissman
12. Hook's Revenge by Heidi Schulz
13. Murder Is Bad Manners by Robin Stevens
14. Some Places More Than Others by Renée Watson
What books do you wish existed when you were younger?

I don't know much about these books but the covers are gorgeous! Middle grade books look a lot more interesting now than when I was that age. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem as a kid! I grew up in a small town with no bookstores and only a tiny library. It was really hard to find books I actually wanted to read. Now I’m constantly coming across books I would have loved as a kid.
