Thank you so much!! Wow. Awesome research. I just put 10 of these on hold at the library (I have to pace myself) for my 11 year old. She’s read Wings of Fire and Percy Jackson at least a million times. Gotta change it up. 😆
Thank you for all your content. Nice to know I’m not the only mom trying to unplug.

In reply to Melody. Thanks for the recommendations. I've recommended York elsewhere but that would be a great addition. My son read A Race to the Sun and really liked it. I'll look for the other one!

Middle Grade fantasy is a favorite in our house-- both my 11 year old daughter and I love it as our primary genre. You've included a bunch of our recent favorites on this list, and a few new titles that I've requested from the library! A few that you don't have, but that I HIGHLY recommend: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune-- this was one of my favorite reads so far this year. York: The Shadow Cipher by Laura Ruby-- a fun mix of fantasy and mystery. The third book in the trilogy wasn't 100% satisfying to me, but the first two were excellent and even the final one was fun. A Race to the Sun-- it's probably our favorite of the Rick Riordan presents series. The audiobook is especially good.
