This week's round-up of middle grade fantasy and science fiction from around the blogs (8/30/20)

Here's what I found this week; nothing for me, because I let work and home improvements and my children's teeth get in the way of reading and reviewing (on the plus side the house is in better shape and no one has any wisdom teeth left....) Please let me know if I missed your post!
