J- Julia Gillian. Julia Gillian is a wonderful middle-grade series. Julia is quirky and fun. She keeps a list of things she's skilled at and she works on adding to this list. She makes paper mache masks. She is a dog person. Her life and concerns as she goes from 4th grader to 6th grader are very real. Julia's life and adventures take place in the Uptown area of Minneapolis and there are wonderful details about the neighborhood in these books.What are you skilled at? Are you a dog person or a cat person?

That would be a good one to give to kids who are from Minnesota, especially Minneapolis. It's fun to read about a place you know.
