In this episode I chat about five MG novels--by unique and diverse authors--I highly recommend (book links to Goodreads):
Were there any common themes, you ask, why yes! Yes, there were: heart, magic, mystery, humor, and charm. I rejected the MG novels that were sad, tragic, controversial, and or too heavy. I just felt like WE ALL needed a little heart, magic, mystery, humor, and charm in our lives--kids and tweens especially, after the years of COVID: being stuck in the house, health problems, and social isolation, to name a few. I had not planned on it at the time, I'm not one to shy away from sadness, tragedy, or controversy in MG books. It was a visceral reaction. So, for this episode, I bring you fun MG novels! Happy reading! ~Lisa Nolan
