World Book Day Celebration: Diverse Books for Kids and Teens
Happy World Book Day!! Welcome to my post all about my favourite three diverse books for kids and teens!
One of my favourite days of the year is here, a whole day dedicated to books!! In the shop we would take the chance to dress up as our favourite characters which is always a great day!
Today a group of UK book bloggers have teamed up to chat all about our favourite diverse kids and teen books! I am super excited to be involved. I shall be talking about my three favourite kids books!
Thank you to Jenn for linking to me, you can check out her post here I am linking to Amy, who’s post you can read here
The Strangeworlds Travel Agency
This is one of my favourite books of all time, and one I absolutely love forcing on everyone else to read! This novel is about a secret society where you can travel to different worlds through suitcases! Featuring a transgender main character, and a non-binary side character, this is a perfect adventure series! Buy from Waterstones here
A Kind of Spark
One of my favourite reads of 2020 was A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll. This book follows Addie who wants to create a memorial in her village to those burned as witches in the past. The village are not so keen, and she has to battle their prejudices against her and her autism to get her voice heard. Neurodiversity representation is so important particularly in children's fiction, and this one is perfection! Buy from Waterstones here
Amari and the Night Brothers
My last book is another one of my favourites. Amari and the Night Brothers is a magical fantasy novel with aliens!! It gives me serious Men in Black vibes, and Amari is the coolest character I have read in a long time!! It's being made into a movie soon, so probably best you read it first!!

There we go! Thank you very much for reading my post about my three favourite diverse books for kids and teens! I love middle grade fiction, and it was so hard to narrow it down to just three!
Thank you to Charlotte for organising this and for designing the graphics, its appreciated by us all!
Let me know your favourite books in the comments!
Happy reading!
