Thanks for the list!
Looking forward to reading Boy21. Hadn't heard of Cracking The Ice! Thanks!
I hadn't heard of the Wild Book yet--it sounds good!
Thanks for the list.
J.A. - Thanks for dropping in
Kate- I loved Boy21, looking forward to reading it again for review. Ari has a review of Cracking the Ice on her blog.
Charlotte I love the cover of Wild Book as soon as I saw it I knew that was David Diaz work.
Thanks for this roundup, Doret! We also did a roundup of diverse MG/YA out this March on Pinterest here: http://pinterest.com/leeandlow/march-new-releases-diverse-mg-ya/. We've got a few more titles that you may want to add (some are on our list because of LGBT themes, but most feature POC).
I added anything we had missing, based on your list.
