Welcome to another brand-new month (and a brand-new calendar year)! December was a bit of a dead month for publishing, so I didn't bother sharing any releases to look forward to. For this list of January 2024 new middle grade books, we have a whopping 13 titles to discuss, dissect, and anticipate. I'm proud to have read all but two on this list, and I'm eager to share my thoughts with you. I'd also love to know if there's any specific information you'd like about each book when I make these lists. If I can include them, I'd be happy to help! I've organized the books in order of their release date for your convenience and starred my favorites this month.

Afoma Umesi — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 07:01:02 +0000

Welcome to a brand new month! As the year winds down, we'll see fewer releases -- particularly in November and December. Happily, I do have several exciting new middle grade releases out in November 2023. One is a graphic novel that has been getting so much buzz, another is an intricately plotted middle grade book about pranks gone wrong, and yet another is a verse novel about a young teen whose mother is recovering from a ruptured aneurysm. I've also included two riveting nonfiction releases that I (shocker!) actually enjoyed.
