Middle School Mayhem

I read so many books that sometimes it's really hard to think about what to write about for this blog; other times, the universe just seems to pull out a topic and advertise it in neon lights. With arrows. And a fog horn. I was talking with a middle school teacher the other day and she was saying how there are so few good books for middle school students. My library is also currently working on a program called Middle School Mayhem. So obviously my post needs to be some of my TOP middle school reads. Without further ado, my fave middle school reads:

• Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
• Alcatraz VS the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson
• Sisters of the Sword by Maya Snow
• Interworld by Neil Gaiman & Michael Reeves
• Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume (If you're a middle school girl, you must read this. Seriously.)
• No Castles Here by A.C.E. Bauer
• The Maze Runner by James Dashner (This is the most violent book on this list if that helps.)

And finally, my two absolute faves from when I was a kid:

• The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
• From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg.

 Happy reading!
