Middle Grade Must-Reads: New Books and How to Find Them with Peters

Sep 11, 2025

Come and explore the world of middle grade plus with us in this webinar presented by Bev Humphrey, working in partnership with Accessit Library and Peters. This often-overlooked category provides choice for young readers who are ready for more complexity than middle grade, but for whom themes in YA would be unsuitable.

Bev will share her top picks from this tricky-to-define category, showcasing her must-reads that strike the perfect balance of complexity and suitability for this age group. Expect recommendations that will resonate with early teens, and inspire confident reading choices for your library collection.

Customer Relationship Manager at Peters, George Wakeman, will guide you through the Peters website, demonstrating how to toggle filters and optimise search tools to uncover the best titles in this space. Bev will suggest ways you can showcase the books on your Accessit catalogue to entice new readers to these exciting books. Whether you’re a school librarian, teacher, or book buyer, you’ll leave with practical tips and a curated list of must-reads. Come and discover how Accessit’s sophisticated software and Peters’ extensive book knowledge can support you with getting the right books, into the hands of the right readers, at the right time.
