      @@GavinReadsItAll I've sometimes thought of rereading it and other similar books from my childhood but I'm a little afraid to in case they don't hold up to my memory!! I would be interested to see your opinion if you ever read it though.

    I absolutely adored Amari and the night brothers- I am so glad I bought it based on your recommendation.
    This was a great recommendations video Gav!. I also loved the entire Frostheart series and The Hatmakers. 🥰

    Love the great book recommendations for myself. But especially for my students that often struggle with reading. I have been searching for quality books that would peek their interest. I just did an A to Z book tag but I love your spin on it with just middle grade books. I might do this as an activity with my student. Thank you!

    I knew amari and the night brothers would be on here hehe :3 I need to read castle of trangled magic as well and the girl who drank the moon D: Jumbies too. I like the mix of popular books but also lesser known middle grade recs too :) King and the dragonflies has recently been on my radar and it sounds right up my alley. Also THANK YOU for the arachnophobia warning I wish more people did that it would save me a lot of trouble. I have pinch of magic so it is only a matter of time!! I read Rumaysa a week or so ago and it was lovely and feminist ^.^ Tilly and the bookwanderers is another I have and it's only a matter of time.

    have you read any of the Hermux Tanatamoq adventures books? It seems like not a lot of folks know about them and they are such comfort books for me. If you like middle grade, you should read them. They're just so charming and whimsical.
