January’s New Books
Posted by Diversity in YA on Jan 17, 2011 in Blog, Featured, Middle Grade, New Books, Young Adult | 17 commentsEvery month we’ll be featuring all the new middle grade and young adult releases that include diversity. (We tried to find them all, but we may have missed a few. If you know of a book we should include, please tell us!)
By “diversity” we mean: (1) main characters or major secondary characters (e.g., a love interest or best friend kind of character) who are of color or are LGBT; or (2) written by a person of color or LGBT author. Unfortunately due to time constraints we are unable to include each book’s summary, but we encourage you to click on the book covers to be taken to Indie Bound, where you can read a description of the book.
Middle Grade Fiction
Young Adult Fiction

Girls with swords are pretty much my bread and butter. Graceling is one of my favourite YA books.
Just in time for my book order!
Another to add to your list–my YA verse novel ORCHARDS (Delacorte/Random House).
Can’t wait for Orchards! Just featured it on the Hamilton Public Library teen blog on our ‘Waiting for Wednesday‘ feature
Oops, then again, ORCHARDS is February! Sorry!
I just put Orchards on my on sale now feature. Oh well, I am not taking it down. I like the cover too much. People will just have to live with the early mention and pre order if need be.
YAY!

This is wonderful ladies! This is going to be so helpful!
The cover for BLESSED is absolutely my favorite! Thank you for compiling these books!
