Isekai manga are some of the wildest fantasy stories on bookshelves right now. What are they? And which titles are must-haves for your collection?

Black History Month is in February, but celebrating the accomplishments and talents of Black people in America and across the diaspora shouldn’t be restricted to the shortest month of the year. These poetry books are written and/or illustrated by Black creatives. This small sampling is by no means an exhaustive list but could be used as a jumping-off point to spark further exploration. 

The following 16 titles emphasize social emotional core values that are important for healthy childhood development.

Though Halloween has passed, these three beastly titles keep the age-appropriate frights (and laughs) coming.

In time for Valentine’s Day, these teen love stories center friends, enemies, and strangers who become something more.

Centering on fat protagonists who defy societal expectations and reject narrow beauty norms, these YA novels work to combat the messages that fat bodies are unacceptable and undeserving of respect.

It's been quite a year. And we have lists.

Angie Thomas's prequel to The Hate U Give is only one of the amazing works on this month's stars list.

The manga that made our best-of-the-year list all have a little something extra: high school stories that go a bit deeper, a classic series published in a gorgeous hardcover edition, animal tales filled with heart and humor.
