Recs if you like Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library (Mr. Lemoncello's Library, #1)...

books to get for the middle grade readers in your life that have similar vibes but are NOT Harry Potter (and are in fact better)

books featured in the cozy video game “tiny bookshop”

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

Here are some books all about books, librarians, and libraries! Some books just happen to take place in a library or have librarian characters involved.

middle grade adventures! recs welcome :)

there’s a special place in my heart for middle grade novels. i think they have the hardest audience—they’re written for a group defined by transition, bridging the gap between childhood and adolescence by creating space in the in-between. when done well, their universal themes (like change!) and prose make the books translatable to any age. since it feels like that should be impossible, i’m convinced authors of this age group are geniuses.
