MIDDLE GRADE BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

[@marcyreads]

I'm 37 and I absolutely love and adore middle-grade! There is nothing like reading an amazing middle-grade book! Great video! 😍

[@marcyreads]

Also I was born and raised in Miami, and my (at the time) step family is Cuban, so is my hubby so I'm definitely buying Sal and Gabi, I think I will relate to it!

[@adashofash]

100% agree🙌🏼💓 I have so many series and books to catch up on and I’m so excited. I hadn’t realized I’d been sleeping on so many great ones!

[@shenzhiyany]

Same here! I am 40!

[@kc6384]

[@aaimaumer6452]

Of all the middle grade I've read my favorite are PJO and Keeper of the lost cities...yet

[@cjsextras]

I AGREE!!!!!!!!

[@adashofash]

pjo will forever have my heart 💓

[@manany3134]

I agree!

[@fiftyshadesofray]

kotlc yasssssssss (ive yet to read pjo xD)

[@priyankagurung8354]

yessss omg kotlc is amazing

[@francescakyanda9182]

Middle grade novels are literally the best, they always remind me of summers at my local library

[@sureenalakhanpal]

middle grade is amazing for any age group and actually a lot of them read like YA too. Thanks for these recs! :)

[@adashofash]

Definitely agree! And absolutely no problem at all😉 hope you enjoy a few of them! 💓

[@claireinaflower]

thank you! actually, the author of "Nevermoor" came to my school 2 years ago and she's so amazing! love that book!

[@rainydayss4355]

So lucky!

[@idk-dz]

My Favorites are : Percy Jackson and Keeper of The Lost Cities!!

[@happymittens92]

Keeper of the lost cities is amazing!

[@justonemorepage8723]

@@happymittens92 There is nothing like Keeper it's brilliant , great to see another fan 😄😆

[@Kay-winters]

So my fav sieres when i was younger was masterminds by gordan korman but then I read kotlc and then i was hooked and percy jackson I read after i finished kotlc and kotlc and percy jackson are my favs now

[@libbylee5003]

I loved The Lightning Theif! It's one of my favorite books, I love the twist at the end! I finished reading Wonder, and I'm planning on read Keeper Of The Lost Cities!

[@eaty0tts809]

PLEASE CONTINUE BTHE SERIES ALSO THIS IS JUST MY OPINION BUT THE NEXT SERIES (ALSO BY RICK RIORDAN) HEROES OF OLYMPUS IS AMAAAAAZING I TELL YOU! ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE BORED OF READING ONLY ABOUT PERCY, HEROES OF OLYMPUS IS LITERALLY THE BEST SERIES FOR YOU AND IT GETS INCREASINGLY BETTER! (Excuse caps! Hehe)

[@meljstephan]

It might sound silly of me but I'm really proud of Rick Riordan for using his success to empower diverse authors and stories

[@clobbopus9063]

rick’s my favourite author

[@choocli]

I've read the first School for Good and Evil book. It's amazing!

[@adashofash]

Awesome! I can’t wait to start it omg💓

[@sirajlawai4719]

Read all 3 and loved all of them

[@juicecarton7845]

I looooove the first book but the sequel and the third booook... they flopped

[@kezbrekker2227]

I'm reading it right now! hehe

[@nothoughtsjustvibes]

The book was cool, but it kinda killed me with confusion over all the chaos🥲

[@catcreme]

I'm rereading PJO series and it's just as amazing as when I read it eight years ago. MIddle grade books are so underrated and more adults should read it

[@rauhakhan9401]

OMG Nevermoor is soooooo good. I read it a couple years ago and this video reminded me that I need to reread it. Thank You. Also will check out some of the other books in this video.

[@zainabkhan9892]

People in my school make fun of me for reading middle grade (even tho I'm in gr 7). I love it regardless

[@alivia214]

Zainab Khan that would happen to me. I’d ask what books they read than and they’d always say “oh, i don’t read” you just keep doing you sis

[@ling_a_bling]

Gr 7 is considered middle grade tho...I’m 12 too

[@yikesgina]

I thought Middle grade books were made for middle schoolers. You do you.

[@yoonminenthusiast7388]

Zainab Khan Middle grade books are great! They convey a message in a simple way

[@yikesgina]

Also, I'm 24, and I STILL love middle grade books. Don't let people tell you what to read.

[@itsLia103]

Aru Shah and the end of time is so amazing

[@phirefflies]

I really hope that you try reading Keeper of the Lost Cities cause it’s my favourite book series and I think you would enjoy it!

[@alivia214]

a good middle-grade series is Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. It follows a young boy who meets these underground mole people. He has to go one this adventure to help them, led by a prophecy, and defeat their enemies. It’s a 5 part series that you should check out if you’re into books like percy jackson

[@subhakhan1900]

Okay but the aesthetic for this video is so satisfying!

[@adashofash]

Aww thank you! 💓

[@rocketstar03]

I’m 34 and didn’t read a lot of books in middle school, so I’m catching up

[@Erinchristine25]

You should definitely try keeper of the lost cities. It’s amazing

[@sisiscorner9138]

im eleven years old and i cant wait to read some of these!!

[@abbeyo7311]

I’m in middle school, and even though I read mostly YA this video was really awesome!! Keep up the good work😊😁

[@adashofash]

Awesome! I’m glad you liked it ☺️💓

[@pixievoid]

sorry i’m dumb what does YA mean

[@sportsanalystguy7740]

@@pixievoid it means young adult books

[@Persassyproduction_fanpage]

Same cause i like the drama in YA

[@Caitlin-ey3vn]

I read hardly any middle grade books, but I absolutely love the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger. It's got me interested in reading more middle grade books, so thanks for the recommendations!

[@pariswynn1368]

As soon as I saw Nevermoor, I knew I had to subscribe to this channel! My favourite middle grade series is Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger

[@ki._.]

I Love Percy Jackson. In fact it was the series that really got me into reading and switching my content everywhere to books

[@eaty0tts809]

And heroes of olympus

[@emilienasrallah1395]

I really think you'd like Keeper of the Lost Cities. It's simply amazing!!!

[@aburns66]

Middle grade books are my favorite!

[@AnnaB12861]

Omg thanks! I was looking for some books for me to read and added all except 2 from this to my list! It helped a lot 😅

[@agnesverga673]

Favorite Middle-Grade: Wonder The One and Only Ivan Serafina and the Black Cloak The Goose Girl A Snicker of Magic Okay for Now The Mighty Heart of Sunny St. James The Door by the Staircase The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell School For Good and Evil Just to name a few

[@emmalovegrove73]

[@victoriadraws8083]

In 6th grade I read the whole school for good and evil series and honestly it’s one of my favorite series i would highly recommend reading

[@readbymarta2781]

furthermore is amazing omg i hope you read it soon and love it!

[@Bella91828]

You should read any book by Gareth P. Jones. I've read the society of thirteen, the thornthwaite inheritance, the thornthwaite betrayal and the considine curse. They are all middle grade books (as far as i remember anyway) with creepy themes and dark twists at the end of them.

[@Sharifa466]

One of my favourites is The School for Good and Evil, I strongly recommend it ♥️

[@mehak5902]

Currently listening to Nevermoor and its so good 👌🏻✨

[@aaimaumer6452]

[@noura9866]

Omg i love middle grade too im currently reading magiterium by Cassandra clare and holly black(im surprised you dint mention it actually )...im currently on the third book...sooo good😍

[@margaridabaptista3712]

Yes! The School for Good and Evil is amazing!

[@laurenknauer3981]

I love National Treasure too! One of my old favorites! If you loved York and the National Treasure vibes it gave, I highly recommend the 39 clues series. I read those right at the end of 5th grade. I was above my reading level so it was a middle grade book and they are so fun! I still think about them today, and I am a junior in high school. I actually work in a bookstore and recommend them to teachers all the time! I hope you try the 39 Clues and love them like I do! And I’m definitely gonna try York! Seems so fun and cute😊😊😊

[@nimratmand3318]

Ashley you should totally read the children of the lamp series. I loved it. Although I have just read the first book because the others books are not easily available in my country.

[@amandas_reading_nook]

I am 21 and just finish the nevermoor series and it is the most fun I had while reading in years!

[@ezrabugg]

I’ve read about half of these. I love them all, thank u for sharing. I was gonna put what age I am but it’s 1:00 and I don’t remember but I am in fourth grade (but read some in third) so can confirm these can be for lower grades too!

[@savanaschubert4580]

Some sponsored videos I get annoyed with, but yours are always so entertaining and honestly make me want to go pick up the book! Great video!

[@adashofash]

Awww this is so sweet! I try my best to make my sponsored videos as true to me as I can. I know paid promotions can sometimes be annoying, but it’s what helps me make a living and I always try to say yes to ones I’m genuinely excited about. So thank you, for saying this ☺️❤️

[@Nightfeare]

The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding was so great. I listened to the audio book and it was AMAZING. I want to read the second one, but I can't get a hold of it yet. I love the the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. 💖💖💖

[@adashofash]

Yes, it was so good!! Definitely agree! And ooo thanks for the rec! I’ll add it to my list to check out ☺️💓

[@Chrryc0la]

I really recormend the book series WildWood. Its a Fantasy style series and is based on 2 characters named Prue and Curtis who find that they have to power of the wood. This means that they can go into wildwood with out getting lost in a never ending loophole of the wood. Deffinetly recormend it!

[@-bookish-5843]

i'm glad people actually really like middle grade and im glad that they are still around even though some people are adults! i'm in middle schools right now and im looking for some books that would be appropriate but also some good reads because some of the middle grade reads ive finished weren't really my favorites! so thanks for making this video!

[@dalyla7627]

thank i found alot of books that i wanna read now

[@MaryAmongStories]

NEVERMOOR ❤️

[@giulimarra]

I’m definitely not in the middle grade target but I still love them anyway and probably always will. Thanks to you I read nevermoor and I deeply fell in love with it, so i immediately added sal and gabi break the universe to my tbr 💚

If you want to read some other awesome middle grade books about amazing kids solving puzzles, then your must read The Mysterious Benedict Society trilogy. It's so fun & smart! I love it & I think you will too.

I love middle-grade books! I really recommend Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. It's just an amazing series, so if any of yall in the comments could check it out I would really recommend it

I read like 2 books from this video lol, OMG AND CITY OF GHOSTS IS SO GOODDDDDDDDD

I loved Nevermoor and Wundersmith so much! ❤️

[@mariasami595]

Same.I am dying to know when the third book will come out!

[@sureenalakhanpal]

Wundersmith (sequel to Nevermoor) is so good!!!

[@adashofash]

I NEED TO READ IT IVE PUT IT OFF FOR TOO LONG!! 🙌🏼

[@jamisondouglas6392]

I tried to read Wundersmith, and for some reason I couldn't read it. Which is upsetting, because I loved Nevermoor. I think it was because it was set in a school setting, and I dont like reading school settings.

[@mcmohitchauhan21]

I'm 28 and I love middle grade books and basically I'm always trying to read almost all middle grade books cuz I just love the light, fluffy story. There is nothing like it. PS: my love for middle grade started and ignited with PJO. 🙂

[@brinbellows4760]

Oh my gosh SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL IS SO SO GOOD. It’s one of my absolute favorite series and I highly recommend- also the Ascendance Trilogy is my favorite series of all time along with Percy Jackson, and it’s middle grade as well (it’s described as a middle grade game of thrones). The Unwanteds is amazing as well there’s so many middle grade book series I want more people to read haha!!

[@adashofash]

Ooooo YAY! I’m so excited to start it soon omg 🙌🏼 I need to take some notes lol I’ve got a lot of middle grade to get caught up on! Thanks for the recommendations! 💓

And please try The Land Of Stories series as well as A Tale Of Magic series..Its so GOOOODDD..

[@khadijahzzx4736]

you should definitely read gallagher girls by ally carter. its about a secret spy school for girls and the series start from their sophomore year where they start learning about covert operations. its so fun and just crazy good. i just want everybody to experience that kind of fun because it was truly something else. also they're not all childish. it gets like super dark from book 3 but still it has humour and fun to it and it just gets right to the feel ahaha y'all should definitely pick it up!!

[@maribellegarcia6787]

Have you read the shadow children series? It is literally the best thing ever; it doesn't feel like a book intended for an eight year old and carries a really interesting storyline. Lots of books too. And I haven't read it, but the author of the school for good and evil actually visited my elementary school on a book tour or something. It was awhile ago so I'm not completely sure lol

[@SantoshGupta-jn1wn]

York looks interesting, sounds like 39 clues, will read after I finish that.

[@louisacoote2337]

I’m 40 and really enjoy middle grade. I usually read the books I want to get the children I nanny. Rick Riordan’s books are really well researched and funny. If they had come out when I was a mythology-obsessed 8 year-old, I would have loved them! The only series I didn’t finish was the Egyptian mythology one. Wonder was fantastic, and I enjoyed the companion books from other characters’ points of view.

[@kahlanalanna]

What about The Queen’s Thief series??! (If you like those, also try The False Prince!)

[@emilymothorpe3416]

I love middle grade books!! Nevermoor is amazing!! I have reread it 3 times. The second book is better then the first. I didn’t care for the book school for good and evil. I’m not sure if it is because I didn’t care for the audiobook voices. So I probably won’t be listening to them and maybe check out the actual book.

[@Kay-winters]

Idk if anyone has read these but the spiderwick cronicels are great as long as your ok with a bit of wierd stuff but there amazing it follows these twins and there older sister but they move into this old house that was owned by there great great grandfather (its some kinda gradfather im pretty sure) and they find out about all these myical crechers (also i know there are a lot of spelling mistakes im a reader not a speller)

[@flanplan5903]

Not a huge middle grade fan (because mainly I like books with adult protagonists and/or are aimed towards them since I started reading at an early age), but I’ll guess I’ll give it a try.

The City of York trilogy (of what I’ve read so far) is really good. I like the mystery and adventure in it.

Sal and Gaby is amazing! It’s not like any rick riordan story I’ve ever seen, and it’s more focused on the kids than their powers and magic. It was unlike anything I’ve ever read and I can’t wait for the sequel!
