Over the last few years, we’ve seen a wave of diversity in Young Adult fiction, especially when it comes to embracing homosexual protagonists across the spectrum of gender and sexuality. Read on to discover some of our favorite examples of this welcome trend. Representation matters across all areas of media and culture, but it’s especially true when it comes to Young Adult work.
Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
This book is a tale of magic and identity set in a spectacular and imaginative setting that practically hums and buzzes with life. It is also a quintessential coming of age tale, featuring a young Bruja who must travel to a strange land to save her family. One balanced by an entertaining and deep cast of supporting characters and page-turning plotting.
When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore
Magical Realism has been a source of wonder and depth for decades, and this beautifully written book from Anna-Marie McLemore is no exception. Buoyed by an honest, and heart-swelling, depreciation of a blossoming young homosexual romance, this is a poetic and profound work with complex and relatable characters and deftly lyrical prose.
