Top Ten Tuesday: Middle Grade Books I Wish I'd Had as a Preteen

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

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.

  4. I 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.
