Great Middle Grade Reads discussion

I've archived the old Fantasy/Sci-Fi thread in order to differentiate between two very distinct genres. Please do recommend your favorite FANTASY books & series here!

If you love Dungeons and Dragons, then this series is just right. It hits all those high fantasy vibes, with elves and dwarves and monsters beyond the walls of a human city.

My favorite fantasy book series is definitely the Harry Potter series if not read I highly recommend it. Here is the first book.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

The brand-new edition of our book Tales of Habib the Hoaxter has just been released on Amazon!

I'm willing to bet that this book is unlike anything you've ever read before.

It's a collection of very short, very funny stories, each with a punch line that will have you laughing and eager to share with your friends.

If you enjoy stories that draw you in with the first line, take you on a little adventure of wonder, then spin you around like a fair ride, you will revel in these tales!

If you wish to experience the poor outwitting the rich and the unschooled outwitting the pompously educated.
Come take Habib’s hand!

These tales are quite simple on the surface, with rich layers of meaning beneath.

They are great for children, for the old and wise (or not so wise!), and for everyone in between. We can't wait to hear which tale is your favorite!

Grace Lin's gorgeous and imaginative book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is a wonderful read if you haven't already had the pleasure! I've shared copies with the middle grade readers in my life as well as adults. Like many great children's/middle grade books, a wonderfully-crafted story can reach readers well beyond the intended age bracket in my opinion!

This book is a reimagined folk tale with fantasy elements ( a hero's journey, dragons, a world full of wonder and enchantment). Lin excels at constructing an intricate story-within-a-story-within-a-story narrative. Not only that, the stunning, colourful illustrations are her own.

This is a very special book. I loved it and I highly recommend it!
