- Fergus Crane is the Washington Post Book of the Week. This one is on top of my "to read to my five year old" list.
- Chris Abouzeid, author of Anatopsis, reviews new fantasy for the Boston Globe.
- There's a new translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Bernard O'Donoghue. Nicholas Lezard reviews it for the Guardian.
- The Fantastic Mr. Wani, by Kanako Usui, is the Times Children's Book of the Week. Nicolette Jones reviews.
- Eugenie Allen reviews The Overachievers: The Secret Lives of Driven Kids, by Alexandra Robbins for the New York Times. This is not a children's book, but it seems as if it reads like a YA novel and is right for the season.
