A7: Realized that I tend to read more YA in the summers. I just finished EVERYTHING SAD IS UNTRUE and can't say enough good things about it. #MGBookChat

Q4: Speaking as a parent, fun trips to the book store or library. There might also be ice cream involved to sweeten the deal. #MGBookChat

Because #MGBookChat has the best recommendations -- what are your favorite MG animal stories? We're studying zoology next year & looking for books for my animal-loving youngest. His favorites are Because of Winn-Dixie & A Wolf Called Wander by @RosanneParry

A2: Not as much dialogue. NIV tend to be more internalized. It can take some kids a bit to adjust to that along with the figurative language. #MGBookChat

A1: One appeal is the fact that they read quickly which is great for reluctant readers. But I think the way they resonate emotionally ends up being the bigger draw. NIV feel almost like the reader is searching for the words right along with the character. #MGBookChat

#MGBookChat Q1: A novel in verse can be defined as a βhybrid genre that combines the elements of plot with the beauty of poetry.β In what ways do you think verse novels appeal to middle grade readers?

#MGBookChat Rather than what you're reading (unless you're a kid!), tell me what your kiddos are picking up.
