Middle Grade March – A Booktube Adventure!

Middle Grade March – A Booktube Adventure!

February 9, 2021 By Linda Jo Martin Leave a Comment

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.

About Me

I'm Linda Jo Martin, known as the Book Lady on YouTube. I'm the author of River Girl, a historical novel about a girl living in the Klamath River Valley in the 1920's. I'm also the author of the yet-to-be-published Antediluvian Adventures Series.

I tend to focus on the Newbery Medal list of middle grade and young adult novels, but may also review picture books and other children's literature.


This is my novel, available at Amazon only. It is for ages 8 to 15. It is a historical novel about a girl living in the Klamath River Valley of Northern California, c. 1920.
