Isaac Fitzsimons
This is a sports-centred coming-of-age story about a transgender teenager balancing football, privacy, romance, family relationships, and the possibility of advocating for other trans young people.
Simon James Green
A warm, humorous queer coming-of-age story set against a restrictive period in British school life. Its romance is developed through reading and anonymous correspondence, while the unusual footnotes, stage directions and editorial asides give the storytelling a playful, self-aware shape.
Sue Divin
A relationship story becomes a way to examine how inherited political, religious and family divisions shape young people’s choices. The book presents reconciliation as fragile, requiring listening, risk and engagement rather than simple agreement.
Phil Stamper
This appears to be LGBTQIA+ fiction foregrounding, at least in one cited passage, the importance of safety, acceptance and belonging.
L. D. Lapinski
This is a warm, issue-led story about a child challenging binary school rules with friends. Its humour and friendship sit alongside sustained frustration, public activism and encounters with adults who misunderstand or minimise Jamie’s identity.
Cassandra Jules Corrigan
Expect a structured introduction rather than a conventional story: two narrators explain pronouns, gender-related terms and etiquette through dialogue, examples and illustrations, with additional adult resources at the back.
Sarah Hagger-Holt
This is a family-and-identity story with two children whose experiences overlap but are not identical. It brings donor conception, LGBTQIA+ life, attraction, Jewish traditions and online research into one household and school setting.
Benjamin Dean
This is an emotionally engaging family story about a child trying to understand separation, a parent’s newly disclosed sexuality and the limits of fixing adult problems. Friendship, humour and Pride’s community provide energy and hope.
Paul Harfleet
This is a visually contrasting, rhyming story about a boy who loves the natural world, faces homophobic bullying at school, and develops a plan to reclaim his school through creativity and nature.
A warm, focused story about family, Muslim identity and responding to unkindness. It offers a child’s-eye view of hijab through sisters whose pride and solidarity remain central when classmates make hurtful comments.
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.
Adiba Jaigirdar
A warm, issue-rich coming-of-age romance about being seen honestly within family, faith and school life. Its humour and friendships sit alongside serious questions about racism, homophobia and cultural ownership.
Angie Thomas
A serious, emotionally intense story about finding a voice after witnessing fatal police violence. Its family bonds, friendship and activism sit alongside grief, racial injustice, threats, strong language, sexual references, substance use and disturbing violence.
