I am (I hope) almost recovered from a lot of book moving in the past two weeks--first at BEA, and then while setting up my library's book sale (it still has to be put away, so the book moving is not over yet......). But what with one thing and another, I just zoomed through about 1000 blog posts in the past 24 hours, extracting the middle grade sci fi/fantasy posts as best I could. Please let me know if I missed yours! (or anyone elses, for that matter...)

The movie version of When Marnie Was There, a classic English time slip book, is out now from Studio Ghibli; here's my review of the original book.
At Middle Grade Strikes Back, a fun quiz--can you identify these ten MG spec fic books by their first few lines?
Ooh, I'll have to see the new Studio Ghibli movie!
