Middle-Grade Recommendations With Strong Heroines

2 Comments

Today I’m over at Sarah Bean Thompson’s Green Bean Teen Queen blog, posting for her So You Want to Read Middle Grade series. I’ve listed classics, historicals, and contemporary middle-grade titles with amazing girl protagonists — ones I loved as a girl or I wish had been around during my childhood.

I met Sarah in person May 2012 when I spoke at her Springfield, MO library. Fun!

What are some of your favorite middle-grade heroines? I’d love for you to stop by and share!
