Middle Grade Recommendations For All Readers! 📖 | Contemporary, Fantasy, Mystery, And More! ✨

[@scrapgirl82]

I really love the B-roll footage where you give closeups on the books and open them and flip through them! Thanks for doing that!

[@zoeedelaney]

This means so much to hear! Thank you!!

[@thelunafaerie]

I already know I’m going to LOVE this video.. middle grades are sweet magical potions 🤩 Also, you look like a fairy 🧚‍♀️ It feels like you’ve always had blonde hair, suits you so naturally 💗

[@your_plant_lady]

Stopping in the middle of the video to write this! Great recommendations so far! Ive seen 2 other people talk about the girl who drank the moon and it's on my list to buy for January! Also I feel drawn to juniper. Maybe it's because my daughters name is going to be juniper or maybe it's because I love the cover art, regardless of the reason, definitely adding that as well and will be following you for more! You explain with great detail and a cheery spirit that I absolutely love!

[@gabbyreads]

Oh my gosh your editing in this video is goals, love the intro and love all the clips of the books as you talk about them 😍 so creative!!

[@zoeedelaney]

AH Thank you Gabby!! That means a lot to me!!

[@lindsay2593]

This video is so helpful! I always like watching booktubers to get reading recommendations for my middle grade son. So many booktubers haven't read the books they recommend! I love that you actually read all of these books. Also, of the books that you recommended that I have also read- they were all my favorites too! Thanks again

[@zoeedelaney]

aww thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!

[@catyapping]

I’ve been wanting to read more middle grade because I love Nevermoor so YAY thank you

[@bridgetthomas4681]

I love middle grades. I'm a teacher and find if a I read a middle grade I can feel I'm doing some kind of work. Some of my favorites are the May Bird series by Jodi Lynn Anderson, The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart, The One and Only Ivan and Crenshaw by K.A. Applegate are some of my favs!

[@jennawar13]

Your hair is so voluminous!!! I loved this video's editing. I haven't read any middle grade as an adult, but I a hoping to change that in 2020!

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

I LOOOOVE Middle Grade! Krista (from @booksandjams) and I started Middle Grade March 3 years ago and I'm so glad it's become ubiquitous with the month of March already! The Girl Who Drank the Moon was our group read for our first MGM and it became an all-time favorite for me, too! Such a wonderful, wonderful book no matter what age you are! I'm rereading it on audiobook this month and it is also FABULOUS. The narrator's voice for Fyrian is MY FAVORITE EVER. And also Glerk and Xan. Oh my heart. It's wonderful!!

[@zoeedelaney]

That is so cool!! I had no idea what the origin was-- thank you so much for sharing!

[@nah1495]

Lemony Snicket’s series ‘All The Wrong Questions’ is also a really good mystery recommendation!!

[@ellendodd496]

Hey thanks for the video, I've added a bunch to my tbr. I'm currently reading the winterhouse series. Book 1 was a great mystery about an orphan who gets sent to spend the winter at a hotel called winterhouse and the mysteries and puzzles she unravels there. Great fun. And it has illustrations too (always a plus when reading books for this age group)

[@aleshaclaywell36]

I got Coraline the other day. It was a really good book with kinda creepy designs. ❤

[@jessicapratt1400]

I love middle grade books.! One of my favorites is The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly (I think it’s actually more on the verge of YA but I don’t really know). It’s about a boy who’s mom dies and he and his dad end up moving into a big, old house with his new step mom. Soon he starts hearing the books on his shelves talking to him and something happens where he ends up in the woods searching for his moms spirit but encounters a lot of fairytale characters. It’s pretty dark and very interesting. Definitely one of my most favorite books ever

[@GavinReadsItAll]

LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Never heard of Nightmares The Sleepwalker Tonic before but you make it sound SO good! And I'm dying to read Greenglass House - I just recently required it. Also never heard of Orphan Island either but it's another one I'm putting on the list because of you. Thank you so much for this video ❤️

[@SerenityYou]

I loved reading Wonder. I have it 5 stars. My 10 year old daughter also read it and loved it too

I need to check out all of these! I've been wanting to read more Middle Grade books, so this video is perfect!

[@jesstar143]

There goes my TBR list 🚀...loving your editing skills!! ❤️

[@zoeedelaney]

Thank you SO much, that means a lot to hear!

[@jesstar143]

Elizabeth Guo it means To Be Read.

[@3Sofaa]

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I really enjoyed it. I found a lot of book channels with very outgoing and loud people who were kind of exhausting to watch (for me personally). But I found your personality and way of talking very comfortable and pleasant! So, I'll be back. 😊

[@zoeedelaney]

omg this means so much to hear, thank you!!

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

I loved Star Girl too!! Love this video ❤️❤️❤️

[@theycallmelulu454]

I knew I was going to love this video because I just started getting into middle grade books! Looking forward to your recommendations

[@ZzZivaReads]

Ahh so happy to see The girl who drank the moon, it's the cutest :D I'm excited to check out some of your other recommendations!

[@CeceLiciousBooks]

omg i looooved Ghosts! I read it last fall and i've never seen anyone recommend it on booktube 😍

[@MelLenoreReads]

Such great recommendations! I've read several of these and loved them. I totally agree Wundersmith was even better than Nevermoor. I can't wait to check out some of these recommendations!

[@zoeedelaney]

Thank you so much!!

[@wendymaresca4527]

Your hair looks so good love the color

[@melreadsmysteries]

I love this video! I don’t typically read middle grade, but one I HAVE to recommend is Time Windows by Kathryn Reiss. It’s been at least ten years since I’ve read it but the story still sticks with me.

[@chandlerainsley]

[@readknitwithcheryl]

Ooooh I want to check out all these books! I'm going to have to watch this video again and write down the titles this time. Lol. I really want to read The Girl Who Drank The Moon. I've heard such good things about that one! Thanks for this video!

[@blackcatseye22]

They all sound so amazing.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I haven't read Middle grade since I was middle grade.... but I think I'll try a couple now.

[@kaylamcabee6881]

The Grace Year seems like an YA version of Orphan Island! I looooveddd The Grace Year so I’m gonna check out Orphan Island :)

[@zoeedelaney]

OOOH I have been meaning to read that one!!

[@_ivelivedathousandlives2033]

Firstly you look gorgeous! & secondly, I’ve been wanting to maybe try middle grade, so this video has been super helpful! 💛🌻

[@zoeedelaney]

eeee thank you so so much!

[@Megan-gy4ly]

Stargirl is one of those weird ones that totally reads like a middle grade but is about high schoolers and has a couple slightly more mature moments. I'll never be able to really say what age range it's *meant* for, but I definitely think middle schoolers will see themselves in it even though they're younger than the characters.

[@lovelight6973]

Love this video! I love all those selections and I would love to hear more. I'm eager to die of more into the middle grade. I noticed it's not as popular which is funny cuz Harry Potter was middle-grade.

[@7PLUTIE]

Just read sweep and simply adored it. Love mg

[@rebekahmackenzie]

You're videos are so great! My favorite middle grade book is Petey by Ben Mikaelson. It's follows a boy with cerebal palsy. I had to read it in school and loved it! I've read it 3 more times since. I hope you are well. 💖

[@zoeedelaney]

Thank you so much, Rebekah! I'll need to check out Petey!

[@tessasanimalvideos6725]

I really like Keeper of lost cities by Shannon Messanger

[@chanelletime]

I’m so early!!!! I can’t wait to watch this!!!

[@darlenefarley8193]

I have those two books and the third one is on the wait list to get it

[@kaydeeandavery426]

I loved Stargirl so much when I read it elementary school, I’m pretty sure the movie is coming to Disney plus this week. My all time favorite middle grade is Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech 🖤 also the Harry Potter series because I grew up as the books were released.

[@sherryreadsbooks]

You look gorgeous girl😍🌻

[@laasyac.60]

Everyone looks at the books I look at her house and cat! Btw adorbs cat!! love the book suggestion.

[@beckyduff]

I've been reading Stargirl this weekend and will be watching the movie today once I finish the book.

[@kaidouhottopicgiftcard]

Ooh, I love Jerry Spinelli(the author of star girl) he writes really good middle grade books

[@yikesgina]

Wonder is my favorite middle grade book, hands down.

[@Theitgirlcatanddog243]

There is also a second and maybe third the second is called auggie and me!

[@monikalewandowska4425]

I love the book Cogheart and Wonder, I really recommend them both

[@thetland0308]

Charlotte’s Web!! Read it when I was a kid and I read it every couple years. Definitely my long time favourite.

[@zoeedelaney]

ahh such a good one!!!

[@darlenefarley8193]

I read the graphic novel of that book Coraline and saw the movie. Loved it

[@silimili123]

💛 I read Ghosts and loved it. I also picked up the Greenglass House books, the Nevermoor series (pre-ordered the third one), and The Girl Who Drank the Moon because of you! 😄

[@saradjaroud971]

You look so pretty. I love your makeup

[@zoeedelaney]

Aww thank you so much, Sara!

[@ashleighmikaelson507]

Question book lovers, Can someone give me recs on some sci-fi MG?? (standalone or series) Has anyone ever told you that you look like Leah from Teen Mom 2? sorry I just kept thinking how much you look like her lol... I have read some middle grade in the past few years (2019-2021) ... YOU pretty much sold me on The Girl Who Drank The Moon... like IDK why but something about the way you described it, made me want to take it out of the DNFd pile and try to read it again... The very first MG I read as an adult was Night Books... FELL IN LOVE !!!!!

[@confuzzledbev3862]

I would have classified Coraline and Juniper Berry as horror. I guess the horror/thriller boundary isn't that clearcut though. The Murder Most Unladylike series is what I would classify as mystery (I do agree Greenglass House is a mystery though - and an excellent book).

[@zoeedelaney]

Good call! I would agree with you! I rarely read horror, so I can often classify it with mystery/thriller. But you're so right! :)

[@sharniephillpott9922]

AHHH I love Nevermoor and Wonder!! I still need to buy and read Wundersmith before book three is out! :)

[@MaryAmongStories]

ahhhhh so many good recommendations 🥰

[@sarahrowe3905]

I love the book Wonder by R.J Palacio!!! Also, I enjoy books by the middle grade author David Almond

[@happyclara1863]

I love fantasy and everyone kept recommending me the girl who drank the moon. Sadly I didn't really enjoy it. It was a bit too wordy for me.

[@_SarahRhubarb]

Wonderful video! You should definitely check out Small Spaces by Katherine Arden. I think you will absolutely adore it.

[@darlenefarley8193]

So I started this book again and I'm on page 141 The Girl Who Drank The Moon. It is very good

[@romalibra_books]

I would love a video with LGBTQ middle grade and YA books ! :)

[@monikakamila]

The friendship list series by Lisa greenwald

[@nerdygeekgamer5528]

the middle grade books I read and still read are the Nancy Drew mysteries and The Hardy Boys mysteries

[@fiyinobayanmusic]

Do you do book reviews for authors?!

[@rachelvictory8993]

Do you the lexile of coraline the novel?

[@liapan6067]

The aru shah books are great as well must try

[@ernestharvey2215]

Perhaps you'd like; Gabbie And The Magical Garden by Paul Lundy takes you into a realm where anything Gabbie draws manifests before her eyes. Amazon.

[@marissawithee1672]

Wonder was such a good book

[@kathymorse7392]

I love middle grade! I have Green Glass House on my tbr, hope to get to it soon. I'm currently reading through the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger. They are so good. If you check the series out I hope you like it!

[@user-rd5kh6ki6r]
