Although I normally try to pick a theme or genre to guide my reviews for Middle School Book Stop, the books for this month’s reviews have little in common except for their intended audience. They were, however, all chosen for various reasons related to my own children and, thankfully, I found them all to be enjoyable. I hope you’ll find something here that piques your interest, too.
