My favorite Pinoy middle grade books
I want to provide some information about respected first Filipino middle-grade books that are on my top list. "Gimo Jr. and the Aswang Clan" contain themes and supernatural elements that readers of Goosebumps, Harry Potter, and the Janus Silang series may be familiar with, but this middle-grade book is unique. Pasaporte does a fantastic job of remaining authentically Filipino while departing from the typical "strange and eerie barrio vibes."
