Middle grade science fiction and fantasy books with protagonists who are women of color.

FAQ
What is middle grade (MG)? Books marketed for children between the ages of 8 and 14. I've seen different ranges listed, but that is the one I have selected.

Is middle grade different from YA? Yes. However, there may be some overlap in the upper age range of MG and the lower age range of YA. Consider the book you are considering adding - would you give it to a ten year old?
