Thoughtful Thursday: 10 Middle Grade Books I'd Giveaway As Gifts

Nothing says the perfect gift like the perfect book! Since I'm featuring my YA favorites next week here on the blog, I wanted to take a moment and feature some of my favorite MG/Kid books. Next to reading YA, I love reading MG, and not just because of my kiddos are reading these books to. There's something exciting about stepping into the world of a MG book that a YA book doesn't have. If you haven't picked up a MG book lately, I highly recommend picking on up soon.

Today's spotlight is ten of my most favorite 2012 middle grade books I've read this year that I'd give away as gifts. In no order:


  1. Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger
  2. The Unwanteds: Island of Silence by Lisa McMann
  3. The False Prince by Jennifer A Nielsen
  4. The Humming Room by Ellen Potter
  5. The Heroes Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy
  6. Underwild Wood by Colin Meloy
  7. Winterling by Sarah Prineas
  8. The Book of Wonders  by Jasmine Richards
  9. The Princess Academy: Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale
  10. The End of Infinity by Matt Myklusch
Honorable Mentions:
If you're looking for a great MG book to give as a gift, I'd recommend taking a look at each of the books featured on the list. There are also a lot of great origination's you can donate books to this Christmas/Holidays season as well! Later this month on Mundie Kids I'll be featuring more of my favorites on the blog. What were some of your favorite MG books you read this year?
