MiddleGrade Wonders, a column by Danica Flotten, coming soon, plus a few fun photos to view!


We had a fun weekend in Rochester, Minnesota, visiting with lots of family for darling six-year-old Janessa's birthday party. My husband and I enjoyed the day at a pizza place with our daughters, their spouses, our highly intelligent grandchildren, and a whole lot of fun kids. Janessa, of course, is
wearing the princess crown.


One of the unforgettable attendees was DANICA FLOTTEN (left) , a cool Wisconsin sixth-grader and our new columnist for upcoming posts, MIDDLE GRADE WONDERS. Watch for them (planning the first and third Mondays of each month) and read the random thoughts of Danica F., along with great reviews of awesome middle grade fiction. Please tell all the middle graders you know to stop by for Danica's thoughts and reviews.

concentrating on my art.



Danica is the camera-happy girl
taking photos of the birthday girl.

    Danica looks as if she's quite the intelligent young lady. I'll look forward to her writing.

    Love,
    Janie

    An artist after my own heart! I love to create, but have no real artistic talents, so I love to color.

    I can't wait to read Danica's posts. How exciting!!

    Love to read what Danica offers from a youthful viewpoint which is what some older people need to read. Looks like she is having fun...and so are you.
