There was a period of time in the 90s when a specific trope was EVERYWHERE: The Weird Girl(s) Do Something Interesting. Me and my friends read. them. all. Which was fine because many Weird Girl Books were Part of Weird Girl Series with 50+ books. -- Due to the limitations of publishing in the past (and the present, lbr.), all of these protagonists will be presented as cis girls, and they will likely be white. If anyone knows of diverse picks for this list PLEASE suggest them in the comments!
