Jennifer Landau
A first-person, informational collection about teenagers’ experiences of learning differences, with attention to schoolwork, education choices and self-advocacy.
Zachariah OHora

Erin Hunter
This is an outward journey that becomes a test of belonging. The apprentices bring practical skills to another community, but the story questions whether competence gives outsiders the right to decide what help should look like.
Carrie A. Kitze
This is a warm, repetitive story about noticing differences in appearance while recognising shared ways of living, feeling and connecting. Its central reassurance is that families can belong together without looking alike.
Susan Brownrigg
This is a clue-led historical mystery with an active young protagonist, a strong seaside setting and a family crisis at its centre. It offers atmosphere, teamwork and a determined character whose limb difference is part of her life, not the whole plot.
Danielle Jawando
This is a socially engaged Manchester story about three Black teenagers whose lives become connected after a stabbing. Its central interest lies in contrasting viewpoints, unequal experiences and the friendships formed in the aftermath.
Kiran Millwood Hargrave
A historical adventure rooted in the early-20th-century Philippines, following Amihan and Mariposa as they respond to official policy and try to return to Culion. Its emotional centre is family love and friendship.
P. J Canning
This is a team-centred science-fiction adventure about young people confronting the organisation responsible for transforming one of them. Expect secret missions, superhuman and alien abilities, technology, fights and an urgent threat affecting millions.
Kieran Larwood
Expect a lively, illustrated fantasy quest built around an underdog team. The story combines dungeon challenges, comic world-building and a friendship arc, while Kit’s impulsive decision creates the central problem.
Rebecca Upjohn, Renne Benoit
This is a child-focused historical account of persecution, concealment and courage during the Holocaust. Its central contrast is between a community’s ridicule of Anton and his decision to protect Jewish neighbours at great personal risk.
Ian Rohr
A straightforward global introduction to how celebrations may differ between city and rural settings, while also sharing similarities across cultures. It is likely to work best as an opening book for comparing communal traditions rather than as a detailed account of any one celebration.
