🐻❄️How to Catch a Polar Bear Never have I read a middle grade historical fiction that is so much fun! I couldn’t find the frozen custard icon, which I bet I’d love more than ice cream. The author catches you from the first page of this hilarious adventure set in the late 1940s and doesn’t let you got without laughing. There’s also a great twist on the paper boy being a girl❤️ The author’s note was fun to read, and I recommend this book to adults who love nostalgia! It’s actually a summer read, so if it’s really hot where you’re at, you might enjoy reading about polar bears and frozen custard as much as I did. Of course my question today is… 🍦QOTD: Favorite cold food and favorite bear? AotD: I loved the pistachio ice cream in Sicily but eat cookie dough here even though I don’t like the vanilla, just the dough bits and the chocolate chips😄 and I’d love to see a Kermode and a Formosan! Thanks to @simonkids for my #gifted copy ❤️ and if you love humor, but also learning fun facts about the past, add this one to your TBR or make it your #SundayBedtimeStory #SimonKidsSunday
📔📔📔📔 4/5 Thank you to Amy Bearce and @netgalley for a free copy of this ARC. When eleven-year-old George Pruwell is finally admitted to the Academy of Villainy and Wrongdoing, he has big plans of making his family proud, especially his older brother Alex. Unfortunately, unlike his brother, George is anything but villainous. To secure a slot in the school's best class roster and prove himself worthy of his family's wonderfully wicked name, he takes on a nearly impossible assignment: defeat Captain Perfectus, the world's greatest superhero. Now, George has to figure out how one too-nice-villain-in-training can defeat the most impressive superhero of all time. Alex offers his help, but George isn’t so sure he wants to use his big brother's methods. And when Captain Perfectus turns out to have some seriously big problems of his own, George must choose whether to follow his instincts and help the superhero or crush him and become the most villainous Pruwell ever. This book was hilarious but heartwarming all at the same time. It gave me Megamind feels but ultimately it is a fantastic book for teaching lessons on staying true to yourself, believing in yourself, friendship and honesty and to be honest those were the things that made me thoroughly enjoy this story. Yes alongside the cringy costumes, crazy villain gadgets and cheesy one liners! #bookreviewsbymrsc #theworstvillainever #amybearce #middlegradecomedy #middlegradefantasy #middlegradebooks #middlegradebookreviews
“Introducing Agatha Topps the finest spy detective, She maybe nine years old but no means ineffective. The case of the missing glasses, she found on their head, Uncovering the chocolate thief, meant missed playtime instead. But Little Strangehaven Primary is in for a bumpy ride, And Agatha may need an assistant forever at her side. Introducing Lenny Tuchus, the worst spy detective, He’s also nine years old but his judgement is defective. Prone to blurting out the first thing in his head, A shocking lack of self awareness, he leaves nothing unsaid. So when a bizarre Shiver comes over the entire school, Lenny’s the one to solve it, he’s… err…. Nobody’s fool.” A brilliantly funny chaotic caper by duo @j_c_pearson and @samuel_copeland with illustrations by @katiekearillustration and @robin_boyden_fiction at @puffinbooksuk For my full review check out my blog on my bio or the link below https://tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2022/08/04/the-underpants-of-chaos-by-sam-copeland-and-jenny-pearson/ #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging #books #middlegrade #middlegradefiction #middlegradecomedy #comedy #kidlit #kidlitillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbookstagram #teacher #teachersofinstagram #teacherswhoread #teachergram
Some HUGELY exciting & positively festive book post today! It’s the proof (advance reader copy) of @j_c_pearson’s OPERATION NATIVITY. 🎄🎄 And it came with biscuits! Actual biscuits which I ate straight away & which were yummy! 😍 Children’s Book of the Month in The Bookseller, it’s labelled as the “ultimate Christmas family adventure” & will be perfect for middle-age readers. When Oscar & Molly rush outside to investigate a crash in the night, they’re not expecting to find a dazed Angel Gabriel wandering around their grandparents’ back garden. And they’re certainly not expecting to find themselves in a race to save Christmas. No secret that I’m one of Jenny’s biggest fans. She’s just super fun & warm & great to be around. If you’re having a party, invite her! And her writing is GREAT! Full of observational humour, laugh out loud gags & buckets of heart. 💗 Out 13 October with @usborne_books - I can’t wait to read!!! If it’s half as good as the biccies, then it’ll be amazing. 🤩🤩🤩 #childrensbooks #authorssupportingauthors #kidlit #middlegradebooks #middlegradecomedy #childrensbooksforchristmas #festivebooks
This week is mental health awareness week and the theme is loneliness. In Clementine Florentine, Clem’s dad tells Clem that he feels lonely and it helps her to see him differently. She learns that situations are not as black and white as they first seem and that Dad needs her support. This prompts Clem to try to put right the things she’s got wrong - and she’s got a lot of things wrong… Illustrations by @myamitchmart 🍊 #mentalhealthawareness #childrensbooks #laughoutloudbooksforkids #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #funnykidsbooks #youngreaders #mglit #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #middlegradereads #middlegradecomedy

Can’t wait to dive into this fab middle grade comedy by @letlucyb 🛠 #ReadingforPleasure #mglit #kidlit #recommendedreading #recommendedreads #middlegradecomedy
Helping children to develop a love of reading is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Not only does reading increase happiness and empathy, but it also increases lifespan, according to recent research. Reading aloud to children as a family, when done in a happy way, stimulates their visual imagination. It also improves children's vocabulary and comprehension. Above all, it's a life-affirming, family bonding experience that builds positive memories. My newly launched novel, "The Hills Kids", is a thrilling comedy-adventure filled with mystery, kooky characters, and the exploration of nature. The story is designed to inspire children to read via the fun characters and page-turning action. It's also crafted to be a fun book to read as a family.

Have a great Christmas everyone. If you are in Melbourne on the 9th of January, please come along to celebrate the launch of The Hills Kids in the Dandenong Ranges, where the book is set. I decided to post this on Christmas eve because the story centres around a conundrum that occurs on Christmas day. The main characters, Archie, Pippa and Ollie (and Kimba the dog) set off on a year-long adventure to solve the problem, getting up to plenty of mischief along the way. I hope to see you at the launch! 😀😀😀 #booklaunch #thehillskids #garethvanderhope #newaustralianauthor #australianbooksforkids #adventurebooksforkids #humorousbookseries #comedybooksforkids #thedandenongs #thedandenongranges #kallista #sherbrookeforest #baynespark #middlegradeadventurebook #middlegradecomedy #underdogbooks #bookssetinnature #booksaboutnature #juvenilefictionbooks #readaloudbooksforkids #familyfun #runwildmychild #australianculture #bookstagram #naturebooksforkids #middlegradebookstagram #comedyadventure #booksforfamilybonding

Warning: Clementine Florentine contains a fair amount of poo, and some barf too. But it’s not completely gratuitous - these scenes take their inspiration from true stories, as told to me by various lovely friends. Clementine Florentine also contains many fabulous illustrations by @myamitchmart and the following themes: #empathy #makingamends #forgiveness #trustinglife #poetry Published by @uclan_publishing on 6th Jan.

I love Simon James Green and am excited to dive into his first foray into middle grade. It sounds incredible and I’m sure it’s going to have the same comedic charm that his YA novels are known for. Watch this space for my thoughts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #QOTD - what book have you recently read that had you laughing?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AOTD - mine would be Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble edited by Paul Cookson. It’s a collection of poetry and some of them had me chuckling like anything!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Books #bookstagram #bookstagrammersunite #bookstagrammersuk #bookstagramuk #booklion #booknerd #booknerdigan #booklovers #bookloversofinstagram #booksta #readingtime #bookstoread #avidreader #readersofbookstagram #bibliophile #bookishpost #yareadersofinstagram #middlegradefiction #middlegradebooks #middlegradecomedy #mgreadersofinstagram #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookblogger
