Who buys middle grade books?

Middle grade books are typically marketed towards children ages 8-12. These books often cover a wide range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, and science fiction, and are meant to appeal to children at a critical stage in their development. They may be purchased by parents, teachers, or other caregivers for children in this age group, or by older children and young teens who enjoy reading books intended for a slightly younger audience. Middle grade books can also be popular with adults who are looking for age-appropriate materials to read with children or to use in a classroom or other educational setting.
