Reading List: 2020 Books
This blog emerged from a book group that meets monthly in Menlo Park, California, to discuss middle grade books with an eye to craft. We don't always create posts on the books we read, but we do have great discussions! If you're looking to expand your middle grade reading or to start your own discussion group, feel free to read along.
