THE WILD ROBOT ESCAPES is one of the most philosophical middle grade novels I have ever read. My brain hurts. My heart is happy. My 10 year old self is thrilled that today’s kids have this book. Well done, Mr. Brown. Well done. #bookaday https://t.co/APv0jYS8dV

We finished reading aloud Sharon Draper’s OUT OF MY MIND in my fifth grade classroom. I had never read this one out loud. Wow. It was intense. I’m thankful that my readers will be able to carry Melody’s story with them in their hearts. #readaloud #nerdybookclub #bookaday https://t.co/hsM6dt87NW

Ended today with the newly minted Caldecott Medal winning book Big. More magical every time I read it.

Dangggg. This book is so good. Middle graders readers are going to fall hard for OPERATION DO-OVER by Gordon Korman. Mason is an unforgettable character and the story is every bit as captivating as Korman’s Restart. https://t.co/lN6r6086yv

Skunk and Badger is written by @amytimberlake, with the pictures done by Jon Klassen. Friends, this book is so darn well done. The writing gave my goosebumps. It is just gorgeous. And Jon’s art, is well, Jon’s art. Wow. Add this one to your 2021 Newbery list. It is that good!!!! https://t.co/307V5NMxWz

The Truth About Triangles is fantastic. Readers are going to love getting to know 12-year-old Luca and his pizzeria owning family. Perfect for middle school readers.

Remember the way your kids fell in love with Wonder? If you give them the opportunity, they’ll fall in love with this one, too. Flight of the Puffin by Ann Braden is a must read 2021 middle grade novel. https://t.co/bGsCIUIipv https://t.co/aTULfyCAdh

Is it too early to start talking about contenders for the 2024 Newbery Medal? I read Dan Santat’s A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING today and I was blown away. One of the best and most unforgettable graphic novels that I have ever read. Wow! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ https://t.co/EjgngGZnih
