Hi all,
Welcome to another collection of posts from the past week interesting to us fans of middle grade sci fi and fantasy! (please let me know if I missed your post!) Books with asterixis are eligible for the Cybils Awards, and have not, at the time of writing this (5:58 am, EST) been nominated, and at the bottom of the round-up are links to various lists of the unnominated. Anyone can nominate books in Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction, and a variety of other categories of less personal interest to me! But the deadline to nominate is October 15....so don't delay!
