13 middle grade and chapter books to watch for this fall

Last week, we shared some of the picture books coming this fall that we are super excited about. This week, we are featuring chapter books and middle grade from our Fall 2018 Online Preview! 

We are delighted to introduce Mac Barnett on the Scholastic list with a new series about his (fictional) childhood as a kid spy – there’s action, laughs and corgis! In his middle grade debut, YA bestseller, Daniel José Older takes us back in time to a New York inhabited by dinosaurs during the Civil War (yes, you read that correctly – ROAR!) And if you want even more fantasy, there’s literally a house with chicken legs on the list! Plus, don’t miss new books from favorites like Alan Gratz, Sarah Weeks, Alex Gino and Deborah Wiles!
