READ HARDER: A MIDDLE GRADE MYSTERY (Nancy Drew fan of days gone by?) [View all]

https://bookriot.com/read-harder-2021-a-middle-grade-mystery/

What is it about middle grade mysteries that is so enduring? Whether you were a devoted Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys fan, snuck around New York City with Harriet the Spy, or are exploring the genre for the first time with authors like Varian Johnson and Chris Grabenstein, there’s something for everyone in this genre. The great thing about middle grade mysteries is that they allow readers of all ages to put their puzzle solving skills to work, while also dialing back the gore and scares that are often hallmarks of mysteries for older readers. Populated with fun characters, unique settings, and fast placed plots, the book below are all great choices for this Read Harder Challenge. To start, I’ve listed a couple enduring classics of the genre before moving on to more current works.

Great list at link. Perhaps some easy reading for the battle over House control that is almost a certainty. Or maybe some great gift ideas for the YA readers on your gift lists?

Enjoy!
