Ghosters by Diana Corbitt 5/5 stars www.goodreads.com/review/show/... This middle grade book has my entire heart. Ghosters is a paranormal story about a brother, sister and friend who discover secrets of an old house. Prepare to cry. It is that good! 🖤 #BookSky #BookReview #Read #Bibliophile

IT HAPPENED TO ANNA by Tehlor Kay Mejia is a spooky middle grade that ties in possessive friendships and jealousy. Good for a library or classroom collection for kids who are intrigued by ghosts! #kidlit 📚👍🏻 #middlegrade #edusky

We Do Not Welcome Our Ten-Year-Old Overlord by Garth Nix 📚👍🏼 https://schoolreadinglist.co.uk/childrens-book-reviews/we-do-not-welcome-our-ten-year-old-overlord/ #kidlit We Do Not Welcome Our Ten-Year-Old Overlord offers a refreshing twist on both the child with extraordinary powers and resistance a…

Struggling a bit this winter. Would be amazing if y'all share this post, or take a gander yourself. I wrote these! If you like Goosebumps, Beetlejuice, Gremlins, and snarky female leads, check 'em out! #kidlit #mg durona.gumroad.com

I’m so honored! Darkness and Demon Song is in the running for the Bram Stoker Award! Thank you HWA for adding my book to your preliminary ballot. Congrats to my fellow authors, especially my Spookies! @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social @spookymiddlegrade.bsky.social @mackidsbooks.bsky.social

Great book alert! The Zombie Project by Alice Nuttall is an action-packed zombie story with an environmental twist. It’s nice and short, with lots happening, and will keep tweens and young teens reading. Age 11+ I’d give it a strong 9/10. Perfect for young horror fans. #kidsbooks #booksky

It's here! Thrilled to reveal 'The Scream of the Whistle' cover by the incredible Micaela Alcaino. It's May Eve, and the veil between worlds is thin. Join Ruby Darke on the ghost ride of her life... Out 5th June. Pre-order: shorturl.at/E5aXz shorturl.at/oLTwA

💙📚Book Review📚👍 ‘Spooksmiths Investigate: The Cinderman’ by @alatkinson.bsky.social is a thrilling start to a new middle grade horror series. Read my review at: www.amazon.co.uk/review/R1A8S... #WritingCommunity #KidLit #KidLitUK #BookSky

I have news that I am not sure if I have shared here! A new Loki book on March 20th! It's a book of short stories and Loki-themed activities and it features Loki shape shifting into many glorious creatures.... For the more orderly games, loki had help lokibooks.com/books/loki-a... #KidlitUK

Sixth-grader Violet deals with a move to a new house, middle school & shifting friends when she's flattened by a virus (not covid)...and there is something evil in her attic room. #NotQuiteAGhost by Anne Ursu is a page turner that hooked the 11-yr old reader in me. #MGlit #kidlit 📚👍🏻

Just finished "Bite Risk" by @SophsWills. Exciting, fun, spooky, breathtaking. I've got quite a few scary book fans at school that will love this, even if it's just for the idea of kids being able to lock up their adults 😁 - definitely need to jump straight into book 2 😍📚😍

Just a non-too-subtle reminder that Shadowhall Academy: Ghost Story Society is out in a few weeks. There are some early reviews here on NetGalley if you want to see what people have thought so far! www.netgalley.co.uk/book/509738/...

Am convinced that if more adults read more children’s books the world would be a better functioning one. They teach kindness, sharing, standing up to bullies, geography, empathy and so much more! We need more #kidlit bookshops not less :-)

Get excited for DOWN CAME THE SPIDERS! Arachnophobia meets Five Nights at Freddy's in this middle grade horror novel. This creepy-crawly cover was illustrated by Jai McFerran and designed by Stephanie Yang. Coming December 2025 from Scholastic. 🕷️ #Kidlit allyoutthere.beehiiv.com/p/new-year-n...

First ever ARC, first ever novel in verse, and first review of 2025! @medenkuyatt.bsky.social gets all of my firsts today 😂 I absolutely LOVED this book, and all the way through I was thinking how much fun it would be to have this as a class novel for UKS2. Highly recommended for age 9+.

This year's Couch to 5k Words cohort getting the hang of it already ❤️

2025 is the year the Night House Files are made public. First file: The Deadsoul Project. Coming on 13th Feb. It's the truth they didn't want you to know ...

When you think it’ll be fun to take a cute Christmassy photo of your dog, but he’s really not feeling it.

The Girl in the Walls by @medenkuyatt.bsky.social was on SLJ's list of the Most Anticipated Middle Grade Reads of 2025! Congratulations Meg!! #mglit #amreading #mgauthor #TheGirlintheWalls #writingcommunity #teachers #librarians

Another by @paultremblay.bsky.social delivers an experience more eerie than frightening, making it accessible yet thrilling for middle graders and beyond. #another #books #novels #horror

THE DEADSOUL PROJECT is available to preorder, and I've had some fantastic review quotes from some authors I admire very much, so I'm going to boast a bit.

If you watched Stranger Things and thought, “This could use a lot more sarcasm, cow manure, and pie warfare”… have I got a book for you. Thankful for this great review from The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books of What Fell From the Sky, out 2/11/25! bit.ly/3VDmutK #kidlit #middlegrade
