25 of the best new middle grade novels

These titles are the very best of new middle grade novels released so far this year.

19. 'Bite-Sized Magic: A Bliss Novel,' by Kathryn Littlewood

The third and final installment of the fantastical Bliss Family trilogy is the most enjoyable yet. Child wonder Rose Bliss has just earned the title of world’s greatest baker. Her family bakery – which incorporates all kinds of magical ingredients and the company of a talking cat – is about to take off when its existence is challenged by the big business baking industrial complex. A premise that sounds absurd – and even potentially insufferable – makes for a fun-filled, delectable, and funny finale in Littlewood’s hands. (Ages 8 to 12)
