MMGM -- Penumbras by Braden Bell

 
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. 
 
 
 
 


This is a series that has flown way too far under the radar. The second book, Penumbras, was released just last month. If you are fan of MG fantasy and magic, this is a don't-miss, absolutely SPECTACULAR series! I love it. My sons love it. My daughter loves it. You'll love it, too, I promise.
 
 
The Kindling Blurb:
All thirteen-year-old Connor Dell wants to do is pass pre-algebra, play lacrosse, and possibly kiss Melanie Stephens, but when a run-in with the school bully ignites strange powers inside him, Connor's normal teenage life goes up in flames. Now he'll need his new powers to defeat the Darkness that's coming for him. Fast-paced and original, this book's guaranteed to keep you guessing!
 
Penumbras Blurb:
Conner, Lexa, and Melanie are back! Just when they think life is normal again, a dangerous shadow creature begins to hunt them. The trio must develop their powers in order to conquer this new peril and protect their school. Filled with action and even more magic, this book continues the exciting adventure in the Middle School Magic series.
  
 
Author Braden Bell is wonderfully approachable online, and I know he'd be happy to do any interviews or guest posts for your blogs. I adore him almost as much as his books!

The Kindling was on my Goodreads TBR; now I have more reason to look for it and its sequel. Thanks!
