Welcome to this week's gathering of middle grade sci fi/fantasy goodness! Please let me know if I missed your post.
First--nominations for the Cybils Awards are open. Any kids book published in the US or Canada between Oct 16 2016 and October 15 2017 is eligible, and anyone can nominate. There are lots of great mg sci fi/fantasy books that haven't found their champions yet! I've made two lists-a long list here, and one that specifically lists diverse books here. I've also starred the books reviewed this week that are eligible and haven't been nominated yet.
