Yes! The Girl Who Drank the Moon is absolutely amazing. The writing is beautiful. The story made me cry - but it also surprised me. I cried not because of sorrow, but because it was so beautiful.

The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a good book. In the beginning it’s a little slow and it’s kind of hard to follow but around the 30-35% mark things pick up

I'm curious about your take on Keeper of the lost cities, because I didn't really like it, but I've heard that they get better? Also the girl who drank the moon is absolutely adorable and heartbreaking heh

[@mayareads708]

Did you only read book 1 ? I'ld suggest to try book 2 and if you still dont like it then stop. The characters are just so precious. IMO thats what drives the books

[@kialazyeyereader1822]

@@mayareads708 yeah, it seems like many thinks that the books gets better after the first one because the author was rather young writing book 1? So I might give it a try ^-^

Paola Santiago was really good, also creepy too, especially La Llorna herself, but a good Rick Riordan Presents. The sequel, Paola Santiago and The Forest of Nightmares comes out in August, it's on my list.

[@MarilynCarr]

Two newer incredible middle grade books to read are Starfish by Lisa Fipps and When You Trap a Tiger by Tae Keller. If you want something quirky and fun, read Skunk and Badger by Amy Timberlake.

I don't understand all the hatred towards middle grade because it's seriously so creative and innovative

[@koongii1808]

I recommend the book series The School For Good And Evil, It’s about 2 girls that are best friends one of them is Sofie she loves pink and princesses and princes and the other is named Agatha and she wears all black lives in a graveyard not that nice to people but somehow they are friends and every 4 years 2 children get kidnapped and taken to the school for good and evil and never get to see their families again. So Sofie and Agatha get taken and they get switched Agatha goes to the school for good where all the princesses and princes and hero’s of fairytales go and Sofie goes to the school evil where all the villains of the fairytales go, so they think that it’s a mistake and needs to be fixed. That’s all I’m going to say about the series it’s so good there are 6 books I DEFINITELY recommend it it’s so good!!

[@lujancabrera7565]

have you read the chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander? it's a children's high fantasy and i really think you'd like it.
