This week's round-up of middle grade fantasy and sci fi from around the blogs

Here's what I found in my blog reading of interest to us fans of middle grade (ages 9-12, give or take) fantasy and science fiction. Clearly the letter "c", which dominated the reviews the past few weeks, has become passe; the cool letter these days is "s."

Please let me know if I missed your post!
