Reviews
Short, sweet, and mostly spoiler-free reviews under a thousand words.
As a middle-grade author, I read a good amount of middle-grade books. While I do read them to better understand the genre, I also read them because I truly enjoy them. I am a strong believer that one should not stop reading middle-grade books purely because they got older, but we should continue reading middle-grade to keep the mind young and grounded.
