Ultimate Middle Grade Book List

A big ol' list of middle grade books. Some of these can be argued to be young adult - especially series which kind of switch partway through as the characters grow - but I tried to keep it strictly to books which would be suitable for around ages 8-12. And the original plan was for the list to be 600 books long like the young adult version I made a while back, but I ended up adding a series that took me over that number so I just decided to make it 640 books instead because why not (and really, who's going to complain about more books?)
