Guys Read: Terrifying Tales is a part of the Guys Read short story anthologies. These anthologies are aimed at engaging middle grade boys into reading. However, I’ll say that in all honesty girls will like these stories too. I think this is like the second of the series that I’ve read. I find myself looking […]

Why Did I Listen To The Flame In The Mist? The Flame In The Mist by Kit Grindstaff initially appealed to me because I was on a middle grade fantasy kick. Let’s be real, there are some really excellently written middle grade fantasy books out there. Plus, two key elements of the story are the […]
