For your reading pleasure, here’s a list of March releases for teens and tweens written by BIPOC authors.
Insha Fitzpatrick makes a mark in the supernatural genre with A Totally Factual Guide to the Supernatural.
The Pumphreys are going middle grade with Link and Hud. If you’ve read any of their picture books, you know this is something to be excited about.
Colin Kaepernick, Eve Ewing and Orlando Caicedo team up for the graphic novel, Change the Game. I’ve recently watched the limited series, Black and White, on Netflix and was pretty impressed by the work Kaepernick did there moving into a new platform with a slightly different message. He’s got some solid conspirators here. This could be something for our library shelves.
Speaking of solid collaborations: Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland!! Kami Garcia and Gvriel Picolo!! Sarah Mlynowski, Debbie Rigaud, and Maxine Vee!
OK, let me go and get in a few minutes of reading time! Happy March reading, my friends!
