Top 75 Middle Grade Books

We are retired, but we can’t stop giving back to our school media community. On October 3rd, we presented at the NC School Library Media Association Conference. We shared our top 75 middle-grade/school books for librarians to order this year. These books were reviewed for grades 5-8 and we included reviews for librarians to share with their schools. It was such a fun experience to be surrounded by librarians and get them excited about new books to add to their libraries. Middle schoolers are sure to find something they will love in this list! It is also a great list to use for shopping for your favorite tween.

If you need professional reviews of these books, we created a spreadsheet to help you out. You can use this resource to find out what other professionals thought of these books.
