There aren't a lot of novels in verse for middle grade readers, and there aren't many of those at our library - it's not a really popular genre for that age group. However, if you get kids who like the format, want something that's a quick read, and match them up with a couple really good selections it works out well. These are several books in verse, which my library owns, that middle grade kids will enjoy:Younger Titles (Younger Elementary)
- Little Dog Lost; Little Cat's Luck by Marion Dane Bauer
- The Dancing Pancake; Where I live by Eileen Spinelli
- Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie by Julie Sternberg (first in a series)
Middle Grade Titles
- Crossover; Booked by Kwame Alexander
- Love that Dog; Hate that cat by Sharon Creech
- Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai
- Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
