Space for Saffron by Rie Neal
Mighty Macy seemed a bit young, so I haven't read it. The other two are solidly middle grade, but I probably won't buy either of them. There haven't been many titles lately that see like something my students are going to ask for. (Anxiousness is rarely appealing, although I did have a student yesterday recommned ESSA High, about a school where all the students have emotional support stuffed animals. I did not roll my eyes.)
