Middle Grade Titles You Won't Want to Miss!

• The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooberman by GENNIFER CHOLDENKO.  When eleven-year-old Hank’s mom doesn’t come home, he takes care of his toddler sister, Boo, like he always does. But it’s been a week now. Hank knows he needs help, but asking for help has consequences, and it could mean that he and Boo may end up in different foster homes... will he be able to find his mom in time?
• Instafamous by ERIKA J. KENDRICK. Lyric has always wanted to be famous, just like her superstar mom! So when the hottest music-competition TV show holds auditions in her town, she knows this is her chance! There are just a few snags: she needs experience (looks like she's joining her middle school production of The Wiz!), she needs followers (time to grow her Instagram platform!), and she needs the help of her friends (but wait, they're coping with their own challenges...). Will she be able to pull it all together to let her star shine, or will it fall apart?
