What was your go-to middle-grade book when you were younger? Mine was definitely Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark followed closely by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

My favourite middle grade book growing up was the ink word trilogy ❤

[@Witchy_Reads]

I've heard of that trilogy, but never got around to reading it. I'll need to add it to my middle grade TBR!
Thanks for watching! 💜

I don't read enough middle-grade (or 8-12 as it is here), this book does sound fascinating thought, think i need to correct this reading blindspot. Great review

[@Witchy_Reads]

I do think there are some fantastic Middle Grade reads out there and that they get overlooked a lot. I definitely enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching! 💜
