Genre Specific Review Groups discussion

In joining this review group you are agreeing to review any book assigned to you within a two month time period. If you do not agree, please do not sign up below.

This is the Middle Grade Fiction review group, which will include all types of novels targeted to middle grade children (approximately 9 to 11 years old). As with other review groups, you will be expected to read and give an honest review of the books assigned to you.

Participants are expected to post reviews to Goodreads. If the review is positive (three stars or higher on Amazon), the review should be posted to Amazon as well, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon.com a requirement.

If a reviewer and the author agree that the review should not be posted to Goodreads due to quality issues, the reviewer is relieved of the requirement of posting the review. If this occurs in the first round, the second reviewer is relieved of the requirement to read and review the book. This is entirely at the discretion of the reviewer and is not intended in any way to manipulate the rating of any book.

Contact the authors you are scheduled to review to arrange to receive a review copy of their work.

Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews.

If you are going to be late with your review, either post to this topic as soon as possible or message the author and the moderator.

If your book has not been reviewed by the deadline for either round, contact the review group moderator. This is necessary to make certain that the review process is fair for everyone.

Thank you for organizing us so quickly!

Hi Jacci- As it happens I already have a copy. I got it a few months ago, but too many books, too little time. I'll put it at the top of my too read list now though.

Hi Jacci,
I emailed you, too. I purchased your book so that I could support you as an author and give you a "verified purchase" review. I'm looking forward to reading!
