Marvelous Middle Grade Monday
Shannon Whitney Messenger decided it was time to give middle grade stories the attention they deserve, and "Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays" was born. I couldn't resist being a part of such brilliance.

The seventh son of the seventh son, aptly named Septimus Heap, is stolen the night he is born by a midwife who pronounces him dead. That same night, the baby's father, Silas Heap, comes across a bundle in the snow containing a new born girl with violet eyes. The Heaps take this helpless newborn into their home, name her Jenna, and raise her as their own. But who is this mysterious baby girl, and what really happened to their beloved son Septimus?
The first book in this enthralling new series by Angie Sage leads readers on a fantastic journey filled with quirky characters and magykal charms, potions, and spells. Magyk is an original story of lost and rediscovered identities, rich with humor and heart.
This is a wonderful MG series. The characters are utterly lovable, the stories pull you in and hold you, and the tension continues to build from one book to the next. I'm sure most of you are familiar with this series, but it's been a while since we've had a new one, so I thought a reminder was a good thing. If you have an MG reader, this is a five-star series!!
Happy Monday!

This sounds so fun! Love the blurb alone. :O)
Ooh, I've been meaning to read this series for a while. I think I'll have to check it out. :)
I LOVE these books! I just started reading Harry Potter to my daughter (although son and husband are listening in as well!) so when we finish, this is going to be the next series I read to my kids.
Wonderful!!! I must join you middle graders ...

I have looked at this series a hundred times and something causes me to set the books back down each time... I am not sure what is up with that, but I'll give it a try come summer.
O I need to read this :)
My husband is right in the middle of the second book...and I need to catch up with him. I'm excited to read this!

I think this book is sitting in my sons shelf, sounds like its time to go dust it off. Thanks for the review.
