Normally we do tags on Thursdays, but lately both of us have been having a harder time finding tags we want to do or think are fun. That’s when I stumbled upon this new bookish meme: #MGTakesOnThursday created by BookCraic. Middle grade books have become a bigger part of our TBR, so this looked like a lot of fun. Let’s take a look at what this is all about!
How to participate:
- Post a picture of the front cover of a middle-grade book which you have read and would recommend to others with details of the author, illustrator and publisher.
- Open the book to page 11 and share your favorite sentence.
- Write three words to describe the book.
- Either share why you would recommend this book, or link to your review.

“See, little Irin? That is what I mean: forgiveness is a tricky thing. It is a wonderful gift, to forgive or to be forgiven. But it must be earned and it cannot be forced. Very, very tricky.”
I read an e-arc of this, so turning to page 11 for a favorite quote is more difficult. So I took one of the quotes I wrote down while reading.

I really hope to do this post on the blog more often in 2021! Middle grade books are amazing and I was reminded of that last year when I started reading more. There are still quite a few sitting unread on my shelves, so I have a lot to read. Also, I’d love to hear from you about what middle grade books you recommend. I’m always open to new ones. Let me know in the comments!
Great post! You won me over when I read the review for this book but now I remember why I wanted to read it, I hope I get to it soon! MG books are fantastic, aren’t they?
Thank you for reminding me about this one – it’s definitely one I know I’ll love – loved your review!
