I have not heard of ANY of these books, which means I must Google their titles ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI love that you included nonfiction! I haven't read all of these, but I am familiar with many of them.
ReplyDeleteI only know a couple of these, but I'm not really up on middle grade.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in with your list!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read ANY of these...oops. I have seen a couple titles (Rats Saw God, Fat Kid) on other unsung lists, so maybe they'll make the final list on Monday. :)
Midnight Driver is so hilarious! This is a good list. I disagree on a couple, but for most you are right on!
