Welcome to #iLoveMG where I share middle grade books that my fifth graders recommend. (Please note that my fifth graders read a wide variety of books across a wide variety of genres, levels, and topics. Do not think that these books are "only" for fifth graders.) Or check out #3rdfor3rd for recommendations from when I taught third grade.
The Mad Wolf’s Daughter by Diane Magras, is a very good historical fiction book. It’s set in medieval times. Unlike most things in that time, the hero is a girl. The main character, Drest, has to save her family from being executed. She has five days to find them and save them before they are executed. She encounters friends and foes, twists and turns, and witches in the forest.
Can she save them? How far is she willing to go for her family? I give this book five stars.
