I don’t participate in book challenges very often but this month I am participating in Middle Grade March.
This is the month when adults read chapter books that were actually written for children. Sometimes, they are so good that we don’t even realize they were written for children.
I read a lot of these books throughout the year because I have a middle-grade child. She and I have already read many of the books other readers have on their lists each year.
This year I decided I wanted to read Miracles on Maple Hill with Little Miss since I read it last March and really enjoyed it. I like that it takes place in Pennsylvania around maple syrup season which is this time of year. I also just like the overall story.
I also decided to read The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis because I haven’t read all of the Chronicles of Narnia since I was about middle-grade age myself.
Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery is one that has been recommended to me a couple of times so I also put that on my list.


I hope to also get to Violet Jenkins Saves The Day by Stacy Faubion and The Moffats by Eleanor Estes. I will at least get to Violet by April since I’ve been meaning to read it for a few months now.
Do you participate in Middle Grade March, or have you?
If you have, what did you read or if you are this month, what are you reading?

Oh, this post brought back so any memories! We loved reading some of these when my girls were younger… I loved reading chapter books with them!

I love to read Children’s books as well.

I haven’t read any of these, but I really should look for some middle grade reads to make up for the slow reading I’ve been doing. They aren’t usually as deep as what I’ve been reading.

They can be a lot more relaxing too.

I seem to love fiction books of all ages from picture books to middle grade to young adult and beyond. A good book is a GOOD book!

I think my time is coming to an end. My youngest says she will read on her own soon and it makes me sad.
