oooo i would’ve loved this in middle school! thank you for compiling these <3
We Do Not Welcome Our Ten-Year-Old Overlord by Garth Nix & The International House of Dereliction by Jacqueline Davies!
This is such a cute list! The middle school version of me would have eaten this up.
such an underrated genre for this age!!!
long lost by jacqueline west, not quite a ghost by anne ursu, any lindsay currie book! (its watching & it found us are my favourites), the haunting of aveline jones (series) by phil hickes & dread wood (series) by jennifer killick would all be great for this list too :3
I love this!! Not Quite a Ghost is SO good. The Clackity by Lora Senf is another great one. Three more on my TBR: Another by Paul Tremblay, The Better to Eat You With by Tehlor Mejia, and Cry Out Loud by Tara O'Connor!
Oh, sorry, I just looked up Cry Out Loud, and apparently it's YA đź«Ł (Also, thank you for including my suggestions!)
Just saw that this list was one of the ones we can vote for this quarter! So happy for you, it's a great list!!
I would consider the Lockwood and Co books to be middle grade horror if you're still looking for suggestions!
