This week's round-up of middle grade fantasy and science fiction from around the blogs (5/30/21)

Here's what I found this week; nothing from me, because I have had back to back houseguest weekends (and since I haven't had houseguests for ages of course there was much housecleaning to be done....sigh) interspersed with plasterers (which entailed more post plaster housecleaning).  Please let me know if I missed your post!
