This Sunday's Round-up of Middle Grade Fantasy and Science Fiction

So yesterday I posed all my new books prettily under the tree so I could post their picture, only to find that the card reader thingy and my mother's computer won't talk to each other. Blah. I will have to try the library tomorrow...But apart from that, it was a lovely Christmas, and no-one did any whining or scrapping or complaining that their sibling got better presents. Not even the grown-ups.

I thought it would be a sparse-ish week for mg sff; happily, I was wrong.
