Recs if you like Opting Out...

Queer middle grade books that make you wish you had these books growing up Inspired by the queer middle grade quest - check that out! Would love suggestions!

Titles that feature alliteration and we love to see it. Recommendations requested to round out this remarkably ridiculous recital.

this list emerged from my goal to read [undetermined # of queer books] in 2026!

🚧 under construction 🚧 very open to recs with any form of intersectional representation! i want this list to feel welcoming to anyone who wants to embark on a very queer book year ahead!

this list hopes to include: queer & trans authors, stories, characters across intersectional identities, locations, times, age ranges, genres!

A list of the MG books published in 2026. Please comment if any are missing.
