Top Ten Books: Middle Grade Edition

This post contains affiliate links (you know, to support my book buying habit!). I’m a huge fan of middle grade books. They have so much heart and imagination and humor. Middle grade takes up a giant section on my bookshelf and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here are my top 10 middle grade book recommendations (in no particular order): 1.
