I’m looking for MG projects, especially sci-fi, fantasy, horror, & contemporary. I’d love more #ownvoices & #diversity too. Make me remember the magic of being a kid. I’d love to see characters dealing with their first crush, first period, and realistic everyday drama. #MSWL 1/4

Send me all the happy, healthy family #MG, like Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella but Middle Grade. #MSWL

Top of my #MSWL is a literary middle grade mystery with high stakes, middle grade and YA graphic novels, author-illustrated picture books, a YA novel told in reverse chronological order.

#MSWL MG/YA featuring characters who are involved in their faith communities, even if they chafe a little within them. Discovering how your beliefs differs from others--even those you share a faith with--is an important growing-up moment!

MG that's funny, charming, and full of heart. Oh! And with just a touch of magic. #MSWL

Also on my #MSWL: more MG! I lean more towards the "quieter" stories rather than the big adventures, but I still need a strong hook/main plotline. I love fantasy, contemporary, historical--all of it.

A few uber specific #mswl requests:

-middle grade set in CA
-MG/YA featuring Jewish characters (whether they are religious is up to you)
-a book about NASA space camp
-characters with weird jobs or hobbies
-realistic, sex-positive YA
-international thriller with a female MC

Middle grade mysteries! Bonus points for #ownvoices. #MSWL
