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!

Middle Grade Graphic Novels because everyone loves pictures with their words! Feel free to suggest more!

A few excellent graphic novels for kids! These books are mostly for Ages 6-15, but some vary. Double-check first before recommending them to a kid, you don't want to accidentally give a book that's too hard to read for them. It's already hard enough to encourage their love for reading without making it harder than it has to be! But, these are all still very good for reluctant readers.

Inspired by the song "Hercules" by Livingston! :) These are books with characters that realized they couldn't be the "Hercules" or the strong and/or "perfect" person that everyone, even themselves, wanted them to be. My interpretation includes, but isn't limited to: breaking societal standards, coming out as lgbtq+, fighting being misunderstood by family and friends, both external and internal pressure to be the best, and the battle of physical and mental illness.

A list of MG books with main characters with OCD that I recommend. There are plenty of others that exist that I either haven't read yet or don't recommend.
