DRUIDS Of The SKY by Dana Willow - Coming of Age, Steampunk, LGBT+ YA Fiction

DRUIDS Of The SKY by Dana Willow – Coming of Age, Steampunk, LGBT+ YA Fiction

  A young adult fantasy gem, Dana Willow’s Druids of the Sky, is a story about the power of found family and self-discovery. On a steampunk version of Earth, humans and druids have tensely coexisted for much of known history. Leah lives a content life with her merchant father aboard Skyport, a giant world-traveling airship held aloft by a metal called Heracleum. Another merchant boards Skyport…

jk rowling: wrote a childrens book series in the 2000s about a society of outcasts, which attracted a lot of queer fans because of its themes on acceptance. comes out as transphobic, tweets out "merry terfmas 😘," and proceeds to write a crime novel about a man who disguises himself as a woman to kill people

eoin colfer: wrote a childrens book series in the 2000s that he describes as "die hard but with fairies," which attracted a lot of queer fans because he accidentally gave his male protagonist a feminine name. is confused but supportive of his largely queer fanbase, leaves nice comments on trans artemis fanart, and proceeds to have one of the protagonists in the sequel series marry a ghost princess inhabiting the clone body of her evil uncle, which when she asks if its weird, the protagonist responds with “Maybe people would think you strange back in the olden days, but kids these days don’t care about stuff like insides and outsides matching”

Have you got any recommendations for books for young people (14+) around queer history & particular trans history? If possible in the UK? I've been a volunteer with a queer youth group for a while and I'm about to start as a youth worker, we keep a library for young people to borrow from so I'm always looking for new stuff. Thanks! 🥰🌈

Yes absolutely, here are some favourites!

Desert Queen

Dark and Deepest Red

I will forever be bothered by how boys in fantasy shows lack whimsy.

The teen girls are riding unicorns, talking to fairies and being happy, while the teen boys are like "eew, fairies. Magic. Ew. I wanna go home and play videogames" I literally wanna punch them.

I want whimsical boys plz. Hell, I want whimsical men. Fully grown adult men, their eyes sparkling with childlike wonder as they cast spells and pet unicorns and protect magical plants.

Jupiter North. I want more Jupiter North please. Read Nevermoor, yall

"INKED" by J.J. Jackalope out now!!

Have you guys considered what the world might've be like if sometime a century ago, people started being born with ink embedded into their skin, and powers at their fingertips? No? Well you should start, because I have the new-age queer book for you.

Think X-Men meets coming-of-age meets a bit of Percy Jackson action.

My goal is to give a sense of belong to anyone whose eyes grace my work. I know how important rep is to every minority and I want to do everything I can to give that representation.

Check out my website to learn more and buy!

Here's the book blurb :)

After being in online school for the last four years, Scottlin Vincino starts his Junior year at a new private boarding school an hour from home. It should have been similar to any other in-person school-- but alas, they had everything Scottlin didn’t. 

A mark. 

He'll have to keep it a secret, but it gets tricky when you have a knack for ending up in the infirmary… Whether it be for the hot boy you just met, or you're swept up in one of the freak accidents at the school that seem to just keep happening. 

Scott will have to juggle his sexuality, his grades, and his new friends all while solving the mystery of what is happening to his new academy.
