What is a Middle-Grade book?
Middle-grade books are written for children aged 8-12 or grades 4 and 6, depending on the country. The genre is also known as young readers, children’s books, or tween books. They are typically shorter and simpler than young adult novels, and include a variety of topics. These books can be about anything from mysteries to science fiction to romance, but they all share the same goal: to entertain the reader while also teaching them something new.
