So! Here are a few suggestions of recent and upcoming kidlit books.
FELIX EVER AFTER by @kacencallender. This is a story about love, friendship, revenge. Itâs messy, itâs beautiful, And itâs one of the best YA books of 2020. A must-read. https://bookshop.org/books/felix-ever-after/9780062820259">https://bookshop.org/books/fel...
DARK AND DEEPEST RED by @LaAnnaMarie. You donât understand how much Anna-Marie speaks to my soul with this book. Part medieval, part modern, all queer fairytale. https://bookshop.org/books/dark-and-deepest-red/9781250162748">https://bookshop.org/books/dar...
ONCE AND FUTURE by @MxCory and @AmyRoseCapetta. This is the queerest King Arthur retelling youâll ever read. Space! Found Family! And Ari has my entire heart. <3 (Obviously get SWORD IN THE STARS too.) https://bookshop.org/books/once-future/9780316449267">https://bookshop.org/books/onc...
RICK by @lxgino. One of the things I love about Alexâs books is how real and unflinching they are. This is a story about understanding, courage, and being brave enough to be who you are. https://bookshop.org/books/rick/9781338048100">https://bookshop.org/books/ric...
WICKED AS YOU WISH by @RinChupeco. Honestly, I could recommend all of Rinâs books here (read them all), but WICKED has a special place in my heart. Full of legends, myths, and joy, this is hug in book form. https://bookshop.org/books/wicked-as-you-wish/9781492672661">https://bookshop.org/books/wic...
GHOST SQUAD by @Claribel_Ortega. Ghostly adventures. Humor. The perfect amount of creepy. This is a book about family in all its shapes and forms, and itâs not to be missed. https://bookshop.org/books/ghost-squad/9781338280128">https://bookshop.org/books/gho...
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST by @masondeaver. This is such an emotional read. Both heartwrenching and heartwarming, this is about coming out, finding yourself, and finding a place to belong. https://bookshop.org/books/i-wish-you-all-the-best/9781338306125">https://bookshop.org/books/i-w...
MEET-CUTE DIARY by @EmeryLeeWho. A trans romance blog. Internet troll attacks. And fake dating (!!!) Basically, this sounds perfect. Add it on Goodreads now: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53180089-meet-cute-diary">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
THE FEVER KING by @sosaidvictoria. A complex, futuristic story about viral magic, fighting for what is right, and being torn between two different worlds. (Obviously get THE ELECTRIC HEIR too.) https://bookshop.org/books/the-fever-king/9781542040402">https://bookshop.org/books/the...
WHO I WAS WITH HER by @NitaTyndall. A story about love, loss, and finding ways to move forward. It already sounds heartbreaking. https://bookshop.org/books/who-i-was-with-her/9780062978387">https://bookshop.org/books/who...
EACH OF US A DESERT by @MarkDoesStuff. Am I going to recommend Markâs books in every thread I do? Um, yes, obviously. Stories, loneliness, finding home, and falling in love. Perfect. https://bookshop.org/books/each-of-us-a-desert/9781250169211">https://bookshop.org/books/eac...
(I triple checked this tweet because I keep writing EACH OF US A DESSERT. Because cake, really.)
DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: A LIFE STORY by @littlehux. Nonfiction! For kids! About the beauty of the world we inhabit. Add it on Goodreads now: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52859410-david-attenborough">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
CEMETERY BOYS by @aidenschmaiden is probably the most anticipated queer book of this fall, and Iâm just saying, a trans MC, Latinx magic, and a gay romance? Yes. https://bookshop.org/books/cemetery-boys/9781250250469">https://bookshop.org/books/cem...
BEDTIME FOR SUPERHEROES by @Bibliogato, with illustrations by @raynnings. Look at how cute this is. Look at it. https://bookshop.org/books/bedtime-for-superheroes/9780762469734">https://bookshop.org/books/bed...
Also, make sure you add @Bibliogato and @LadyNeeko& #39;s queer MG anthology THIS IS OUR RAINBOW: 16 STORIES OF HER, HIM, THEM, AND US on Goodreads. Because Iâll tell you now, itâs going to be spectacular and so, so necessary. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50713820-this-is-our-rainbow">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
BETWEEN PERFECT AND REAL by @raystoeve. About a closeted trans boy who realizes after he& #39;s cast as Romeo in the school play that he can& #39;t go back to being seen as a girl. Add it on Goodreads now: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49471608-between-perfect-and-real">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show...
Also be sure to check out Rayâs fantastic YA/MG Trans & Nonbinary Voices Masterlist: https://raystoeve.com/the-ya-trans-ownvoices-masterlist/">https://raystoeve.com/the-ya-tr... <3
CANâT TAKE THAT AWAY by @StevenSSWrites. About a genderqueer teen who is cast as the female lead in a school musical and has to fight discrimination and intolerance. Divaesque. https://bookshop.org/books/can-t-take-that-away/9781547605309">https://bookshop.org/books/can...
PET by @azemezi. Iâm also going to recommend this book every chance I get, because itâs such a beautiful exploration of monsters, monstrousness, and saving the world⊠or possibly saving yourself. https://bookshop.org/books/pet-9780525647072/9780525647072">https://bookshop.org/books/pet...
WICKED SAINTS by @glitzandshadows. A delightfully dark fantasy, bloody and brutal. More books with eldritch horrors, please. (Obviously read RUTHLESS GODS and preorder BLESSED MONSTERS.) https://bookshop.org/books/wicked-saints/9781250195661">https://bookshop.org/books/wic...
And finally, my own EVEN IF WE BREAK. Five teens who come together for one last RPG adventure. A nonbinary game master. A very queer (including one trans disabled boy) party. And a very deadly game. https://bookshop.org/books/even-if-we-break/9781492636113">https://bookshop.org/books/eve...
And obviously, like with every list, I feel like I missed so many people and titles. (Definitely a lot of non-recent titles.) So as always, feel free to add more! :D
