Some Middle Grade Reviews by Middle Grade Readers

Sixth grade Reading Ambassadors are hungry for brand new books and I love that I can feed that desire.  Here are some reviews of books that came out last year or about to come out.  All positive stars!

Coming in February to a library (bookstore, Overdrive account) near you...

Eventown 

By Corey Ann Haydu

(Katherine Tegen Books)

Elodee has to move to a new town called Eventown.  She loves it, but there is something odd.  Everything is perfect.  Her twin sister starts to drift away. Elodee asks about the town.  No one can give a good answer.  

I think that this book deserves five stars.  It is fun to read and I could not put it down. It is a combination of sad and fun.

And a couple overdue reviews on books that came out last year that we missed...

Frederick Sandwich and the Earthquake that Couldn't Possibly Be 

By Kevin John Scott
(Sourcebooks/Jabberwocky)

Frederick Sandwich gets teased by other kids all the time.  One night the town shakes.  It is an earthquake but they are not in a place where the earthquakes happen. The mayor forces the town to believe there was no earthquake.  Frederick and a girl, Pernille, try to get to the bottom of the mystery.

I really like this book because it is fun to read.  I could not put it down.  Anybody who likes mysteries should read this book.
