In the Middle Reading Challenge

Because I need another challenge like I need a hole in the head.

The O.W.L. is challenging us to read some more middle grade literature, or books for 8-12 year olds. I'm starting a little late, so I won't be eligible for prizes and such, but there are a few middle grade books in my TBR pile and it really wouldn't hurt me to read a few of them.

I'm aiming for the 7th grade level, at least 8 middle grade books this year:

1. Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go by Dale E. Basye
2. Once by Morris Gleitzman - I'm counting this one, even though the ARC suggests it for ages 12 and up, as it has won awards internationally for ages 7-9.
3. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
4. The Brimstone Key by Derek Benz and J.S. Lewis
5. The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan 
6. Stolen by Vivian Vande Velde 
7. Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
8. Don't Know Where Don't Know When by Annette Laing
9. Submarine Outlaw by Philip Roy
10. Touch Blue by Cynthia Lord
11. Submarine Outlaw by Philip Roy
12. The Dead Boys by Royce Buckingham
13. Journey to Atlantis by Philip Roy
14. The Kneebone Boy by Ellen Potter
15. A Different Day A Different Destiny by Annette Laing
16. Penny Dreadful by Laurel Snyder
17. Nightshade City by Hilary Wagner
18. River Odyssey by Philip Roy 
19. The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall by Mary Downing Hahn 
20. The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan  
21. Avalanche Dance by Ellen Schwartz
