Middle Grade Madness! discussion

It was a very close one between this book and Daughter of the Deep in our poll, but taking into account people's second votes in the comments, this book won by just 1 more vote!

I'm really excited to read this because it seems like a fun and quirky concept. If enough people enjoy reading this one it might be cool to keep reading the next book next month and make it our next series readathon!

Oh yay!! I didn’t technically vote for this one but after reading the synopsis I wanted this one and the Ambrose Deception to win! Might pick this up soon!

Ambrose Deception was quite popular too so maybe we'll read that in July too or September or something. All the books on the poll had sufficient interest which I'm really glad about so we may just end up reading all of the options some time down the line😂

I read this when I was around 11, and I remember loving it! Might pick it back up for a reread, but it depends on how busy i’ll be this month. Hope everyone enjoys :)

I've read this one. It's a really good start to the series.

I own a copy, so I hope I can get to it. (I'm still trying to get to Serafina.)

Oh gosh really? I dropped Serafina after finding the first book to be abysmal. I knew I wasn't going to enjoy it and I really tried with book 1. I definitely couldn't put myself through more of that. But I totally relate to finding the group related reads pile up over the months; I'm still actively reading Red, White, and Whole from April😂

Hopefully you find the time to reread it but if not no worries, maybe the discussion can help refresh your memories anyway and feel free to join in with the discussion if you like!

My daughter really liked Serafina, so I'm trusting her opinion on it.

Ooh I get you. And it'll be like a bonding thing so that's nice! I hope you enjoy end up enjoying it when you find the time to get round to it then!

So we had a little flooding incident in our house last month (April), so we have ordered new flooring. This was the part of the house that held most of my books (which are fine), so they are now crammed in nooks and crannies around the house.

Long story short, I can't find my copy of Story Thieves at the moment, though I did find Serafina. New floor is scheduled to be installed next Wednesday.

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the flooding incident but I’m glad your books are ok! It would’ve been sad if they were damaged.

Well there’s still the whole month left so maybe you’ll manage to find your copy within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime I hope you enjoy the first Serafina book!
