This week's round-up of middle grade fantasy and science fiction from around the blogs (4/19/20)

Welcome to this week's collection of mg sci fi/fantasy from my blog reading! I've put stars next to the new releases in the US to remind you all to think about buying them because I feel so darn bad for their authors.  Please let me know if I missed any that should be starred, or if I missed your post so I can quickly add it!

August might or might not be coming quickly, and that's when the call for judges will go!  If your interested, now's the time to start reading the genre of your choice (perhaps Elementary/middle grade speculative fiction?)!  Join the Cybils Awards TBR Reading Reading Challenge to share the great books you find along the way (runs from 4/15/2020 to 6/15/2020).

I like to compare covers from the UK with the US covers, so thought it would be fun to add this here.  Which Nevertell cover appeals more to you? (I'd buy both myself, but I think the one on the right is more unique and compelling....
