Here's what I found this week. Please let me know if I missed your post, and if you are the author of a mg sci fi/fantasy book, please don't be shy about emailing me links to reviews at any time (charlotteslibrary at gmail dot com)! I follow about 500 blogs, winnowing out the MG sci fi/fantasy, but 500 blogs is but a drop in the bucket, and I do so miss Google Blog Search (for a while the work-around way to do it worked, but it doesn't seem to anymore). I also am quite capable of deleting links by accident, not knowing a book is mg sci fi/fantasy, etc.

I'm not sure if Roald Dahl counts as MG or children's. But I reviewed five of his books this past week. I never am sure what the distinction between children's and mg are.
