Best Middle Grade Reads of 2021

I am obsessed with my book spreadsheets because I love knowing books stats like this: 38% of my reading this year was middle grade! That is by far the largest percentage of my genres. So to honor that I have made an exclusive list of my favorite middle grade reads of the year!

Standalone Novels:

• A Place to Hang the Moon

• Starfish

• Voyage of the Sparrow Hawk (review to come)

Series I started:

• Fun Jungle: Belly Up

• The Islanders

• City Spies Books 1 & 2

• Wilderlore Books 1 & 2

  • The Accidental Apprentice

  • The Weeping Tide (review to come)

Series I continued:

• Myrtle Hardcastle 3: Cold Blooded Myrtle

• Vanderbeekers 5: The Vanderbeekers Make a Wish

I have read so many great middle grade books this year and these are just the top of the pack. Many other falls into my loved and liked categories. Check out all my middle grade reviews on my blog!
