this week's round up of middle grade fantasy and science fiction from around the blogs (5/2/21)

Happy May!  Here's this weeks gathering of what I found around the blogs etc.; please let me know of anything I missed!  The fact that the letter L wins this week (for I think the first time in all the years I've done this) and that there are no S books makes me think I've missed lots!
