Welcome to Middle Grade March, an annual month-long readathon hosted by @krista_booksandjams, @lifebetweenwords, @thecurlyreader, and newbie @jennareadsnwrites, who’s taking over the MGM Instagram this year. (Hi everyone! 🥰)

Here’s what you need to know…

2023 PROMPTS/CHALLENGES

• Read an award-winning mg book, specifically an award other than the Newbery (Printz, Pura Belpre, Coretta Scott King, etc.)
• Read a mg Sci-Fi/Dystopian/Apocalyptic book
• Read a book with “Sea” or “Sky” on the cover, in some capacity
• Read a mg book featuring a neurodiverse character
• Read a mg book that was published within the last year

But don’t worry too much about these challenges. Remember, as long as you read ONE mg book in March, you’ve won! ❤️

2023 GROUP READ

• A Rover’s Story by @jasminewargabooks

(This fulfills three of the prompts/challenges btw!)
