Happy New Year from the Mixed-Up Files!

We here at the Mixed-Up Files would like to wish all of our readers a very Happy New Year!

2015 was a wonderful year for us, and we hope it was for you as well. Our group of 26 contributors brought you close to 200 posts on the world of middle grade writing and reading. We hope our posts enlightened and inspired you, and kept you up-to-date on the ever-changing climate of children’s books.

We’re looking forward to doing more of the same during 2016 and can’t wait to share many terrific posts with you.

We wish you all a year filled with peace, joy, and love, and in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, many, many best days.
