Middle Grade March Party

Nowadays, there are days, weeks, and months that are chosen to celebrate just about everything you could imagine. Ice cream day. Squirrel Appreciation day. National Sock day. You name it.

Well, one of my favorite months is March. Not only are my two daughters both March babies, but we also get to celebrate Middle Grade March!! And do I have some fun events for the whole family to tell you about.

About the book:

Violet Jenkins Saves the Day, by Stacey Faubion

Violet Jenkins is determined to get her sometimes too-large family to Florida, where she will be reunited with her kindred spirit, Aunt Vivian. They share a love for all things aviation, space, and shenanigans.

Violet activates a plan, but unforeseen and outlandish obstacles lie ahead. Will one of these obstacles prove to be too big for even the cleverest of schemes?

Take a trip with the adventurous Violet Jenkins and enjoy the ride!

Will she persevere until she finds the family her heart desires? or will she find something even better? Join Fortuna on her search for la famiglia perfetta, the perfect human family

Into the Lion’s Mouth, by Nancy McConnell

Venice is sinking, so they say. And so are Nico’s chances to prosper in the most glorious city in the world.

Nurse Francesca is threatening to send him to a farm to pick olives, he has failed at two apprenticeships, and one of the most powerful men in Venice would like to sink Nico’s lifeless body into the darkest canal.

Orphans have very few options and Nico might be forced to choose the one he most wishes to avoid, leaving Venice behind forever.

Turtle Tube: An Erutuf National Park Novel, by Kathy Arnold Cherry

Siblings Reese and Dean Walters love to watch online videos. Reese already has a dream of becoming a marine biologist who helps save sea turtles and other living creatures in the oceans. One day when Reese finds a new sea turtle video, something mysterious begins to happen after she clicks play.

As colors swirl around the siblings, Dean and Reese float into the air, twirling round and round until they land with a quiet bump on a beach. Moments later, they realize they are on a magical national park island where no one can see or hear them—except the sea turtle inhabitants.
