The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
by Deya Muniz

This adorable graphic novel follows Lady Camembert (or Cam) who disguises herself as Count Camembert after her father dies in order to avoid being forced to marry. While in disguise, she meets (and falls in love with) Princess Brie. But how will Brie react when she discovers the man
she loves is really a woman?
Yes, this book is ridiculous, and it's absolutely chock full of cheese puns, but it's also an unbelievably sweet and uplifting story with some truly loveable characters.

The One True Me and You

by Remi K. England

Set at a fan convention, this fun and joyful LGBTQ+ romance is about being true to yourself. Kay is spending the weekend at GreatCon and is experimenting with they/them pronouns and more masculine presenting cosplay for the the first time (and hoping to kiss a girl for the first time). Happening alongside the convention is the Miss Cosmic Teen USA pageant, where Teagan (Miss Virginia) is competing for a much-needed $25,000 scholarship so she can escape to college to finally live her life out and proud. Sparks fly when the two bump into each other, but are they ready to embrace their true selves in order to be together?

Death at Morning House
By Maureen Johnson

If you're a fan of Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious series, you need to check out this standalone mystery. This story follows Marlowe, who is spending her summer on an island giving tours of Morning House, a mansion that was build in the 1920s and abandoned soon after when tragedy struck. When a staff member mysteriously disappears one day, Marlowe starts to investigate. Could it be murder? With a massive storm about to hit and cut off the island from the mainland, Marlowe is in a race against time to figure of what happened and who is responsible.

Miss Meteor
By Tehlor Kay Mejia and 
Anna-Marie McLemore

This story follows former best friends Lita and Chicky as they team up to help Lita win the Miss Meteor beauty pageant. This is an LGBTQ+ contemporary story focused on friendship, but there's also a bit of romance and some magical realism thrown in. While this story is an absolutely delight, it also tackles important issues like transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, and bullying. If you're looking for a book that will have you smiling from ear to ear, this is it!

The River Knows
By Isabel Ibañez

In this story, we follow Inez, an upper class girl in Buenos Aires who has just received news that her globetrotting parents have died. Determined to find answers about her parents' mysterious deaths, she travels to Cairo, where she joins up with her archeologist uncle (and guardian) and his handsome assistant in a race to find a lost treasure. This historical fiction novel is (very accurately) marketed as being a blend of The Mummy and Death on the Nile, but with a dash of magic thrown in. It has mystery, adventure, romance, and a whole lot of Indiana Jones vibes. If you like ancient Egypt, definitely check it out.

The Sky Blues
By Robbie Couch

When Sky's secret promposal plans for his crush Ari are revealed to the entire school by an anonymous homophobic hacker, Sky wants nothing more than to drop out, skip town, and disappear. Instead, his classmates rally behind him on a mission to fight back and find the identity of the mysterious hacker.
This is a heartwarming book that is essentially like a kinder and gentler version of Kacen Callender's  Felix Ever After.
