School is out, and everyone is ready for a long, relaxing summer.<\/p>\n<p>This past year has got me thinking about summers when I was kid. Back then, summer vacation consisted of baseball games in the pasture, slip and slides, camping out in the back yard, and traveling only as far as your bike could take you in the hours between breakfast and dinner. A slow and easy summer like that meant two things \u2013 you hung out with the same small group of people day in and day out and you spent a lot of time making up games to keep you entertained. One of the games we played when the days got too long and we got too bored was Desert Island. Desert Island consisted of naming your Top Five \u2013 the five songs, albums, movies, tv shows, and books (of course) that you\u2019d want to have if you were stranded on a desert island.<\/p>\n<p>Our Top Five lists shifted and changed week to week and year to year. Sometimes we\u2019d steal from each other. Occasionally, an out of town relative would come for a visit and completely upend our idea of what was worthy. But mostly, every time we played, we got to think about what we loved and why we loved it \u2013 which isn\u2019t a bad thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>This past year, I\u2019ve spent some time thinking about what I love and why. I reread old books (like Beverly Cleary\u2019s Henry and the Clubhouse which still holds up and has a Ramona and her mom scene that completely cracked me up). I rewatched old movies (like Legally Blonde and Sense and Sensibility \u2013 both of which always make me smile), and revisited old tv shows (Parks and Recreation of course). And, I read a lot of books and thought about which ones stuck with me past the last page and why. It was thinking about what stuck that got me to write this post.<\/p>\n<p>Enough talk. Let\u2019s get to it. Here are my Desert Island Top Five Middle Grade reads this past year (in no particular order):<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p class=\"h1 leading-tight mb-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3231\" src=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Miscalculations-of-Lightning-Girl-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Miscalculations-of-Lightning-Girl-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Miscalculations-of-Lightning-Girl-99x150.jpg 99w, https:\/\/patriciabaileyauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Miscalculations-of-Lightning-Girl.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/the-miscalculations-of-lightning-girl\/9781524767600\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl<\/strong><span class=\"comma-after-except-last\"><strong> by Stacy<\/strong> McAnulty<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><b>A lightning strike gave her a super power\u2026but even a super genius can\u2019t solve the problem of middle school.
