Childrens Middle Grade Books

Be careful what you wish for because it might come true.

For middle schooler Liv Creep, being dead is totally ruining her life. Things get worse when a social media stunt meant to outmaneuver the school’s meanest influencer unleashes a horde of chaos, threatening to reveal what she is and, worse, to end the centuries-old hidden civilization of the undead.

Joy, 11, cares for her brother Ian while fearing Child Protective Services. A baby bird and her eccentric neighbor Ezzie lead her to “rewilding” and to question her dad’s manipulative control. As she secretly restores a wild yard, Joy finds courage, healing, the power of nature and her own voice.

Silence was supposed to keep me — and my secrets — safe. So I accidentally became a spy… One mistake could mean none of us — me, Mama, or Kat — survive. If you like danger, secret missions, close calls, and real history — this is my diary. Just don’t tell anyone you read it.

The book is an mystery-adventure and an eye-opener into the world of how ancient puzzles are solved with time travel thrown in for the thrill of it.
