I need recs for paranormal-ish books for middlegrade readers. I read a LOT of YA, but I also need to read stuff that is aimed at the slightly younger readers. Help?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
Jilli, off the top of my head, these might work:
The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place.
I know there are some others, too. I'll poke around.

Bear in mind I haven't read these, although I've sampled the first two on the list above.
The 43 Old Cemetery Road series.
The Case of the Missing Marquess, the first in a series about Enola Holmes, Sherlock and Mycroft's much younger sister.
Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos. Also part of a series.

Oh hey, I think I've got the Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos book upstairs in one of the to-be-read stacks. Go me!

That sounds like EXACTLY what I need to look at.

Oooh, yes! Though, like the Harry Potter books, they get darker as they go along.

Have extra books lying around? Put them to use.
