the City of Ember hype is so real. I haven't read it since I was in middle school, but I need to! Mysterious Benedict Society and The Penderwicks are the two middle grade series I re-read every few years even still. I wrote about one of them here!
wait also I realized if you're in Minnesota--are you familiar with the Betsy-Tacy books? They're my Favorites of All Time Ever Ever. The author based them on her own life. There's ten books that follow her and her best friends as they grow up, the reading levels age up with the kids, they're remarkable. I want everyone to read them but when I meet Minnesotans I'm extra into sharing them!
Hi! Lucky you to have read City of Ember in middle school! I would have eaten it UP. I still loved it, though. :)
Those two series are also new to me, thanks so much for sharing! I'm excited to read your post.
And yes, I adore Betsy, Tacy and Tib. :) My mom's older sister introduced them to me when I was little. I need to re-read - I haven't yet! Thanks for the reminder. :)
