I love this TX Bluebonnet art project for New Dragon City! The teacher had the kids create propaganda style posters either for or against dragons in the apocalypse! So creative! @tbabooks LBYR School & Library Little, Brown Young Readers Liz Kossnar #newdragoncity #mgbookchat #mgbooks #tweenbooks
#MGBookChat hello! I published a middle grade non-fiction graphic novel on Halloween 2023! I’d love to send a copy to any of you that are part of a sharing group like #BookPosse !
I also co-authored the forthcoming (attempted) murder mystery mg THE COOKIE CRUMBLES (out 6/11) with Alechia Dow (updates only)! #MGBookChat
Hi #MGBookChat , I don't believe in farewells. It's only been a short time, but I'm so grateful. Seems like the perfect time to also show everyone the cover of my new book, 'Play the Game: Take the Shot,' a sequel to 'The Hoop Con.' Thank you for all your support.
I'm really struggling to find #ARCreaders for my #MG sequel. You don't have to have read book one to enjoy this. #kidlit friends and readers, it would mean a lot to me if you'd share this and consider signing up. Link will be in the comments! #mgbookchat
Hi final #MGbookchat ! What a great source of connection this has been! I’m the author of The Unlovable Alina Butt and will use this final day of the chat to reveal the second part of the Alina Butt series will be coming out in 2025!! What a dream!
Hi #MGBookChat ! I write and Illustrate stories that take place around the world. Excited to join tonight's chat after a long time away! My latest comes out 4/2. It shows how easy it is to build connections between American history and historical stories in other places.
I am so excited by what Caitlan Clark is doing tonight. She is inspiring a whole generation of ballers and is definitely a role model for one of my main characters, Trina. #MGBookChat
Kia ora and hello from Aotearoa New Zealand. I'm Mark, MG writer, with just the one book to my name so far - Maggie and the Mountain of Light, published just over
a year ago. Looking forward to connecting with others today 🙂 #MGBookCHAT
Hi #MGBookChat !
I’m Anna Lapera, and I write contemporary middle grade and YA. My debut book, MANI SEMILLA FINDS HER QUETZAL VOICE came out a few weeks ago. I am late to this chat and X in general but have written down all of these amazing titles you all have shared!
A8: I’m currently re-reading Joan Aiken’s classic, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. It has a twee, Victorian kind of atmosphere but it is legitimately terrifying. Current MG books are much gentler than this. 😂 #MGBookChat
Hey #mgbookchat Thank you for introducing me to so many amazing books. And thank you for bringing me so many readers. I appreciate everything you did! 🫶🏻
My debut is a Cybils Awards nominee in the category of Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction. 🥹 Many thanks to 📚Deborah Zeman 🔜 ⛱️🏝️ for the nomination!

Hi #MGBookChat ! Just finished dinner & dropping in a little late, but I wanted to at least say hi -- I'm Waka & the author of 3 MG books, one picture book (publishing Oct 1), & one more MG that's coming out winter '25 (currently editing!). So grateful for this community!
A5: So many! As a child, my favorite author was John Bellairs. He wrote spooky, gothic mysteries set in New England, and I just loved them so much as a kid. Edward Gorey illustrated the covers. Wonderful atmosphere. #MGBookChat
I can't remember how I stumbled upon #MGBookChat , but I think it was shortly after my debut (WHILE I WAS AWAY) published. Since I'd recently made the switch from screenwriting to novel-writing, I wasn't sure what to expect... but everyone in the MG community has been so kind.
