Middle Grade Recommendations

Borough Press are running a book-a-day throughout June on Twitter. Today, the 14th June the topic is 'An old favourite'. So I have created a list of around 20 of my favourite middle grade books. Many of these I read when I was that age (9-12/13) and some are ones which I have recently read. Middle grade books are brilliant and they contain thousands upon thousands of stories which young children can explore.

An old favourite of mine and my mum's is Are You There God? It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume.
