Over the years, #mgbookchat has provided me with so many book recs, connections, and friendships. And I really enjoyed the time I hosted a topic on maps in MG books.

Hi final #MGbookchat ! What a great source of connection this has been! I’m the author of The Unlovable Alina Butt and will use this final day of the chat to reveal the second part of the Alina Butt series will be coming out in 2025!! What a dream!

Question for the #MGBookChat community:

What do you think makes middle grade so special?

Hello #mgbookchat I'm Dana Storino, author of The Golden Bee! Love these chats!

Hi #MGBookChat !
I’m Anna Lapera, and I write contemporary middle grade and YA. My debut book, MANI SEMILLA FINDS HER QUETZAL VOICE came out a few weeks ago. I am late to this chat and X in general but have written down all of these amazing titles you all have shared!

I will sign off from #MGBookChat with the news that I just finished my latest MG historical novel at 40k words, and I wrote the whole thing on my vintage typewriter!! ✨😊

A6. I remember when the Cuyahoga River in Ohio caught on fire. It was supposedly permanently polluted, would never be clean. Now it's coming back, it has fish. Sometimes people triumph in what seem like impossible situations. We need positive stories like these too. #mgbookchat

The Clackity by @lora013. #MGBookChat
Great, spooky fun.

Hey #mgbookchat ! I'm Catherine and the author of Flip Turns, a MG feminist swim team mystery. I've LOVED the chat, and I'm so grateful it was here for my debut. It's been a joy chatting with all of you!

Hi #mgbookchat . I’m Shannon, MG writer, reader, and podcaster. Today a guest post I wrote came out on the SLJ teen toolbox blog and I’m pretty excited about that!

Hi #MGBookChat , I write 8-12 y/o MG & Share Faire Famous is a fun coming of age story that is avail to preorder.

I also write Upper MG in Verse to bridge the gap between MG & YA since it’s important to give 11-14 y/o options that are not quite YA but with rich writing/content.

#mgbookchat - I’m currently reading this fabulous new book by the one and only Erin Entrada Kelly 4/1/24

Hello friends! I'm Saadia, author of MG books like the ones below. Really sad about #mgbookchat ending because it was such a lovely way to connect with educators, librarians and other authors 🥰💙📚

Looking for an MG book rec. Can you provide me with a title of a MG book that is just a really fun, really silly adventure tale. No super serious life lessons involved.

Thank you from Middle Grade Authorcade to the #mgbookchat community and especially Laurie Hnatiuk for all the support over the years! When the chat first began, these books were only seeds of ideas in our minds but with the help of all the friends here, those seeds continue to grow!🙏

A8 BTW I just finished @AnnEBurg’s beautiful verse novel about Rachel Carson, FORCE OF NATURE. If you haven’t picked it up yet – DO! #MGBookChat

Only two books I've written have made me cry while my fingers were on the keys. This is one of them! #horses #wildhorses #MGBOOKCHAT

Now only four weeks away! Pre-order now!
