I’ve been busy.<\/p>\n

Noticing a trend in the Your Kid’s Next Read Facebook (YKNR) community of members looking for ‘short middle-grade novels’, I set out to write an article for the YKNR newsletter’s paid subscribers about what might be driving the interest, some bookseller recommendations and some insights from writers about the joys and challenges of writing ‘short’.<\/p>\n

You can read it here<\/strong><\/a> (we have a free trial available so you can have a look at what we’re doing over there!).<\/p>\n

But, of course, I also asked the wonderful YKNR community for its recommendations \u2013 specifically for middle-grade novels that are 240 pages or under \u2013 and, of course, our members delivered!<\/p>\n

I’ve compiled a list below of those recommendations, indicating page numbers where available. Click the title to see more about the book or to purchase.*<\/p>\n

Hope you find a great new book for your young reader here! Let me know if you do!<\/p>\n
