Nicole Melleby recommends
Something Like Possible (2023)
Miel Moreland
"Moreland's novel is a powerful, much needed story for queer girls, told through a spreadsheet-loving, politically involved character's experience. An important book to have on any shelf; I would trust Madison to run my campaign (and my life) any day."
Sir Callie and the Champions of Helston (2022)
(Sir Callie, book 1)
Esme Symes-Smith
"A groundbreaking, magical story about fighting for who you are, Symes-Smith's debut paves the way for nonbinary characters to shine in their own adventures. Callie is a character every middle grade reader deserves to have on their shelves."
The Best Liars in Riverview (2022)
Lin Thompson
"The Best Liars in Riverview is a lyrically told tale about friendship, found family, belonging and hope. Thompson has crafted a gorgeous debut that will fill an important place on LGBTQ+ shelves, and Aubrey is a character that will stay with me for a long time."
