This is a new feature set up by brilliant MG Book Blogger @MaryRees at the blog Book Craic to highlight the wonderful world of Middle Grade books.
You can read all the instructions for taking part on Mary’s blog here.
Here is my first attempt at this meme.
Author: Catherine Doyle
Illustrator: Bill Bragg
Publisher: Bloomsbury Children’s Books
Favourite line from Page 11:
“I’m already full of magic. I just have no idea how to get it out of -“
This book in three words:
Destiny, Magic, Courage
This is one of the most powerfully moving works of MG fiction published in recent years. Combining a love of family, sense of place, lyrical language and the coming-of-age story of a boy struggling to fulfil his destiny in a battle with an evil foe, it is a story to be enjoyed by anyone from 10 to 100!
You can read my review here.
Well this is my first ever participation in a meme, so I wish to thank Mary for choosing to shine a light on the magic of Middle Grade. I hope that many other bloggers will join in, I look forward to reading your thoughts.
Thank you so much for taking part in this – I really appreciate your support! Your post is wonderful! I loved The Lost Tide Warriors – a brilliant choice! Really looking forward to the next one although I think publication has been put back to March next year!
