I’ll be participating in Middle Grade March this year. Middle Grade March is a readathon challenge that started on YouTube but has spread to Instagram as well. What’s involved? Well, there are five prompts and a group read, but if you read only one middle grade book during the month of March that’s enough to say you’re participating in Middle Grade March.
