THE MIDNIGHT WAR OF MATEO MARTINEZ, by Robin Yardi, is an adorable tale for middle school readers and perhaps younger. The story draws you in right away in the first chapter when Mateo sees a couple of skunks steal his old tricycle, the one he is supposed to give up to his little sister. As a proper knight, he makes it his mission to bring the trike home.
This story has some bully drama, sibling rivalry, and skunk armor. It is full of fun nighttime adventures to places that delight the imagination. And, of course, the midnight war.
Lighthearted and fun, but with some real middle school issues. I highly recommend!
