What middle grade and children's books are you excited for in 2016?
Wow, what a great list! I will have to check out some of the MG titles.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you get to read some of these in the new year.

I didn't either until I looked them so no worries (:
DeleteMG can be really wonderful reads if you give them a shot.
Great list Adriana! I cannot even begin to express how much love middle-grade books. Ravenous is on my TBR for 2016 :) Have you by chance heard of Baker's Magic? It's due to be released February 1, 2016 - it's oh so good!
ReplyDeleteHave you read Monstrous? I still need to read it! I think it's a separate story from Ravenous though.
DeleteI have heard of Baker's Magic, but I'll have to take a look again because I can't recall what it's about. I love food and magic so I'm not surprised you liked it.
A lot of these sound very good! Middle grade books have the best/cutest covers! :D I am going to read only middle grade for the first bout of books challenge of the year. What is one of your favorite middle grade books?
ReplyDeleteI know! All the covers in general coming out in 2016 look amazing. I feel like Publisher's constantly put out better and better covers.
DeleteI love A Week in the Woods (sentimental childhood reasons), Journey to the River Sea, and the Lightning Thief series is the best. I know that's more than one (;
Thanks for the recs!
DeleteI'm so excited with everything on this list. I'm really curious about Raymie Nightingale as Kate DiCamillo is popular with the kids I work with at the library.
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty popular everywhere! It feels like a book where you want to say to the MC - girl you know it's not your fault right? And give her a big hug.
DeleteLots of amazing books! I want to read them all. I am always on the lookout for new MG reads and this post is a great place to look. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited by all of these books too! So much potential for great reads :D
