2017 middle grade novels 12.29.16

Hard to believe that we're looking at the start of a new year!

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for 2017!

Especially for the books.

This week I'll be spotlighting books to come.

I have pages written in my notebook for each month.

Pulling out just a few over the next few days.  

Lots more to come in 2017!

Today, middle grade fun!
