It's August, and that means it's a new month full of fantastic book releases. Today I wanted to feature a couple of August's MG release, which we're excited to read/feature on Mundie Kids.
- Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi, August 30th, Dutton
- The Last Cherry Blossom by Kathleen Burkinshaw, August 2nd, Sky Pony Press
- The Scourge by Jennifer A. Nielsen, August 30th, Scholastic
- The Bronze Key by Holly Black & Cassandra Clare, August 30th, Scholastic
What are some August MG releases you're looking forward to reading? If you haven't already, be sure to add these titles to your MG to be read lists!

There have been a lot of fantastic middle grade releases this year. Many of which I'm looking forward to featuring here on Mundie Kids before the end of the year. For awhile now I've wanted to do a feature similar to the one I do on Mundie Moms. Each month I feature a list of YA books being released for the month. Often times I include a couple of middle grade releases as well. I've had the intentions of doing a similar list like that here on Mundie Kids, but it's not as easy researching the list of the MG releases as it is YA. Which is sad, because there is a HUGE variety of children's books out there. Here on Mundie Kids I plan on doing a monthly feature that will spotlight a few of each month's new and upcoming MG releases. Hopefully in doing that, you can also share with me some of the month's new MG releases you're also looking forward to reading.
I think that I need them all. MG reads are just a bless.
ReplyDeleteI need them all too lol
DeleteJust received a copy of The Last Cherry Blossom and can't wait to get to it. Thanks for this post.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you think about The Last Cherry Blossom!
DeleteOh yes! These all sound fabulous. I think my kids would like The Scourge.
ReplyDeleteMG is one of my favorite age groups to read in. I feel like more adults should read MG because there are some amazing titles.
I totally agree! More adults do need to read MG. I've always enjoyed MG, but I'm starting to really love it. I wish there were as huge as a variety of MG when I was a kid.
DeleteJoshua and the Arrow Realm comes out next week and is quite the page turning adventure.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the rec!
DeleteThe Bronze Key was really good. I could do without the description of the fungus based food, though!
ReplyDeleteLOL I can totally understand the fungus description
DeleteI didn't know Jennifer Nielsen had a new coming out. The Scourge sounds really interesting!
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until BEA! I am so excited about this book.
DeleteCan't wait for you to review these; they all look fabulous. I'm also eagerly anticipating reading Furthermore, in addition to a host of other books--it seems like this summer has been a great season for exciting MG. Of course, I'll probably be saying the same in the fall!
ReplyDeleteThank you! There are some awesome MG releases coming out this fall. Between summer and fall releases, I'm going to go broke.
DeleteOhh, I thought The Scourge was a YA book? Now I'm unsure, haha :) Anyway, excited for that one :D And dying for The Bronze Key. <3 Yaaay for pretty MG books out soonish :D Lovely post sweetie. <3
ReplyDeleteYep, it's targeted for MG readers. which is great for YA readers too. :)
