This Sunday's Round-up of Middle Grade Science Fiction and Fantasy postings from around the blogs

This Sunday sees us moving toward the homestreach of Cybils nominations. The Middle Grade Science Fiction and Fantasy list is currently at around 100 books, and you can see it here; there are still many fine books that haven't yet been nominated, though, so if you haven't put forward your own favorite, now's the time to do it! (I've emboldened the books reviewed this week that haven't been nominated yet, as a reminder to those who loved them).

As usual, please let me know if I missed your post!
