This week's roundup of middle grade sci fi and fantasy from around the blogs (3/15/15)

Late today with the round-up because of starting a watercolor class at RISD this morning!  Yay me; I am trying to find more things that give me joy, and although it would have given me more joy if the car keys hadn't fallen inside a shoe when I put them down last night (this caused Confusion and Delay) it was fun!  In any event, please let me know if I missed your post.

  1. Ah, thanks especially for the link to Valente's essay! I hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere yet. I'm really glad I got to read it, because I was indeed wondering about that question :)

  2. I should tell you that I bought that Owl Diaries book you reviewed for my niece and she loves it! She's been reading it over and over.
