Middle Grade Monday: Highlighting Recent Middle Grade Reads (December 2025)

On or around the third Monday of the month, I’ll highlight recent middle grade reads that I’ve enjoyed. I am so happy working part time in a school library – it’s wonderful to be with kids and books, and my reading life is so much richer!

I read the following middle grade books between November 22, 2025 and December 14, 2025

Coach by Jason Reynolds and The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli byKarina Yan Glaser. You can read my reviews for both titles on my five star post here.

Here are three middle grade titles I’m looking forward to reading – possibly over winter break!

The Pumpkin Princess and the Forever Night by Steven Banbury

The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest by Aubrey Hartman

The World-Famous Nine (The World-Famous Nine #1) by Ben Guterson

About Me

Welcome! I started my career as a children’s librarian, later becoming a public library director and now I’m a stay at home mom. While my career might have changed, my love of reading has been a constant since I was in 4th grade, and I read over 200 books a year. I love talking about books and connecting readers of all ages with just the right book. Thanks for reading!
