Great Middle Grade Reads discussion

Born out of an initiative on this very forum, and developed by your Moderators Jemima & Rebecca and two former Moderators, the two volumes of BookElves Anthologies showcase the writing of authors who have gone on to win awards all over the world.

But they remain cute, curious and heartwarming tales for children age 7 upwards.

BookElves Anthology, Volume 1


Seven stories, seven situations threatening the festivities – a postbag that gets bigger, a Santa in summer, the strange disappearance of the gifts, a petnapping gang, a snowstorm in the wilds, a kidnapped messenger, and a whole raft of celebrations that are too strange to contemplate.

Will the holidays be a disaster? Or will seven bookelves weave seasonal magic?

Jemima Pett, Rebecca Douglass, Fiona Ingram, M. G. King, Wendy Leighton-Porter, Sandra Smith, & Ben Zackheim

BookElves Anthology Volume 2


Seven authors, seven new tales to twang your heartstrings and tickle your toes. Will the Christmas fairy be ready to grant your wishes? Will Shirley Link solve all the clues to her presents? And will Santa's reindeer, a lost and forlorn hero, and a man under the spell of a wicked witch find their way home during the bleak midwinter? Find out in this second anthology from the MG BookElves.

Jemima Pett, Cheryl Carpinello, Rebecca Douglass, Wendy Leighton-Porter, S.W. Lothian, Annaliese Matheron, & Ben Zackheim
