"Young adult books go above and beyond when it comes to representation—and it's something that we, the YA community, authors, and readers continue to fight for every day. So, in honor of Black History Month, we want to take a look at some of the books that have been influential in this wave of representation and encourage you to read your way through the month!
And, let's be real: They're all really, really good.
From anthologies to graphic novels, atmospheric fantasies to realistic tales tinged by everyday issues, there's something to offer every type of reader in every one of these stories."
