And The Poet X! It’s so good! Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, On the Come Up, Children of Blood and Bone.
But maybe start with the author Jason Reynolds. He’s won a lot of awards for his young adult/children’s books.
The books I’ve listed may or may not be appropriate for your students but it is a diverse list, including topics related to gender issues, race, economic, cultural, you name it.
BIPOC - is there an edit option on this thing??!!
What choices do you already have?
It's been a minute since I taught middle school but my kids liked The Skin I'm In. They also like Watsons Go to Birmingham.
My high school kids read Trevor Noah's book - no idea if the juvenile version is suitable for for middle school.

1. Talk to your librarian.
2. Here are a few I like: The Passing Playbook, Monday’s Not Coming (they’re deep, be warned), The Gilded Ones, Binti, I’m not dying with you tonight, Akata Witch, The Hate You Give, and probably anything by Jason Reynolds.
The librarian is my friend and we collaborate regularly. This question came as the result of a conversation that we had.
Thank you for your suggestions 🙂
Here's a list the ELA teacher and I use in our 7th grade classrooms. Some may have already been suggested:
Children of Blood and Bone
Children of Virtue and Vengeance
The Hate You Give
Piecing Me Together
Codetalker
Bless Me Ultima
Rudolfo Anaya wrote many children's and YA books about life in New Mexico. His themes dig into intersectionality, racism, classism, and cultural preservation.
Great list!! This is exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you so much! I have the H8 and Jason Reynolds collection but am casting a wider net. 🙂
Holes and Wonder are other examples of inclusivity.
George Takei’s graphic novel They Called Us Enemy is really good. It’s about his family’s time on an internment camp during WWII. For Historical fiction Gary Paulsen’s Nightjohn and the sequel Sarny were both good. Barefoot Gen is a biographical graphic novel series about a boy surviving the bombing of Hiroshima.
Ditto the editing option!
‘Harbor Me’ by Woodson
Where have you already looked?
We use the journals and our librarian is fantastic. I just put this here to see if there’s something that we aren’t aware of yet.
