I have boys 7&11 yo who like “girly” books about friendships. Long attention span, character driven, not super into magic or scifi yet. Funny is a plus. #bookrecs #middlegrade #booksky 470
Mae Walters @medieval-coconut.bsky.social · 22/02/2026This could backfire. I know an avid youtube kid who really got into Harry Potter for its intricate worldbuilding, memorable characters and slowly unfolding mystery plot. If someone is there to read to them, kids will probably go for books that are reasonably clear and deliver on their promises 000
