I was familar with many of these titles. I read and really enjoyed Ava Tree and Wishes Three earlier in the year. My review I did find some new books thanks to this roll call. I also discovered that Capital Mysteries features best friends KC Corcoran and Marshall Li solving mysteries near the Capital.

nice job, Doret! I know this was not easy!
Tales Julian Tells by Ann Cameron is a wonderful early reader. I used to read it with my children. So well written! Julian is Huey's older brother.
The WordPress open ID has been having problems, I'm using my alternate identity. :) Edi
You always come up with wonderful lists, Doret! Thanks for compiling this!
I'm halfway thru the graphic novel THE SECRET SCIENCE ALLIANCE AND THE COPYCAT CROOK, by Eleanor Davis, which is for younger readers. Not only is the Alliance itself diverse, but the illustrations are as well, including not just children of color but also kids in wheelchairs, etc.
Girl, you rock! I picked up Calvin and Keena. Had to request my library purchase the Grimes book.
I really like Keena (we share birthdays). I'm reading it now then passing it on to a friend's daughter who just cracks me up. Said daughter has agreed to write reviews for me.I'll keep you posted.
I couldn't do this list without including a book by Ann Cameron. That just seems wrong.
Thanks Jill. I do like making list.
Thanks Liz. Many of the children's books featuring people of color I found out about thanks to other bloggers. Amazon is no help.
Susan - Glad you liked Keena, especially since you share a birthday. The Nikki & Deja books just as fun.
Wow, Doret, you outdid yourself! Nice job.
