“This is one of the best upper middle grade books I’ve read this year. Every single aspect was great: the plot, the characters, the writing, the mix of humor and sadness, the pacing. All great.”

For my #middleschool #library friends this article is perfect. It’s what we have been asking for. Thanks Laurie Morrison for articulating what so many middle school people have been feeling. #ALLibraries

I don’t know about you, but I’m always on a quest to find books for my 8th graders where most MG is a bit too young, but most YA is a bit too mature. I came across this article and working list of Upper MG that features 13/14 year old characters. #UpperMG

Excellent article! Yay for upper MG! 😊👍🏻📚

Thank you Laurie Morrison for this. I don't understand why publishing won't jump on the UMG train. It left the station long before any of us joined the fray. But it continues to get passed by on marketing, promo and formal categorization which is important for awards etc.

I wrote an article for Writer's Digest about how to write #upperMG novels that engage middle school readers! Check it out for my working definition of “upper middle grade” and my top six tips for writing for this age group. writersdigest.com/write-better-f…
