"I looooooooove this book because it combines the real world with magic." Read on for the full review!
#iLoveMG is my continuing series where I share middle grade books recommended by my fifth graders. (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.) For younger readers, #3rdfor3rd for recommendations from when I taught third grade.
My book is called Hummingbird by Natalie Lloyd and the genre is fantasy. This book is about an eleven-year-old girl named Olive, who has osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) and has been homeschooled her whole life long. When she finally convinces her parents to let her attend Macklemore Middle School, a traditional school that looks straight out of Olive's favorite fantasy books, she is super excited! Unfortunately, her first day goes… not so well.

Unfortunately, her first day goes… not so well.
The next day, she hears about a magical hummingbird that can grant wishes, and believes it might solve all her problems. Teaming up with a new friend who also wants to find the magical bird, she starts collecting clues and looking for it, and discovers it is real.
I looooooooove this book because it combines the real world with magic. I think it’s very well-written (THANK YOU Natalie Lloyd), I couldn't put it down! I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy with a little mystery. I definitely rate this book 5/5 stars because I love both realistic fiction and fantasy (and a little mystery to make things interesting).
