Happy Monday! My break is going well, though I would wish for better weather. Middle Grade Monday features two books from a series. When I came across Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Spooky Stories recently, I realized I missed book two of this Diary of a Wimpy Kid spinoff, Rowley Jefferson's Awesome, Friendly Adventure. So this Middle Grade Monday recommendation is a two-fer, or a three-fer if you missed the first.

If you're a fan of the Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney, you know all about Rowley Jefferson, Greg's long-suffering best friend. In Rowley Jefferson's Awesome, Friendly Adventure, Rowley wants to write a story. He has no plans to become famous for his book. He just wants something for his parent to read to him at night. Greg has other plans though. He has visions of movie rights and merch.

In Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Spooky Stories, Rowley reveals his dark side with stories of vampires, werewolves and zombies and such. Most are humorous with a side of gross. Fans will devour both books and ask for more.
