Also, the one AFTER the next one will be from the POV of someone completely new. SOMEONE COMPLETELY NEW."

Thanks for sharing this roundup! I've been terrible recently about reading middle grade books. I am planning on doing a 'Middle Grade March,' so likely I'll have several posts to share during that month - and I'm excited for myself to get to read them.
