The elementary/middle grade speculative fiction books reviewed by School Library Journal that aren't in the Kirkus list I made

After publishing my updated Kirkus list of Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction books (with an eye to Cybils nominations), I was filled with doubt regarding all the books that Kirkus didn't review.  So I went to the  School Library Journal's monthly lists of books they reviewed and pulled out the ones that looked eligible (no guarantees, though--I was trying to move along quickly).

So if you haven't yet nominated a book in EMG SF, maybe one of these is the book for you!  The ones already nominated are in green.
