A magic school book similar to IN OTHER LANDS. Give me your queer and/or POC protags, your questions of morality, how society should function, fluid gender dynamics, your charming creatures, painful growing up, learning to belong swoony romance, and enduring friendships. #MSWL

Currently listening to Binge Mode Harry Potter, rewatching ATLA, next rewatch Dawson’s Creek. Next read? Hopefully some YA or MG featuring a ride or die group of friends. A story where friendship and love is central to the protag’s success. #MSWL

#MSWL Middle grade group of friends who have to go on a mission--like ATLA, Stranger Things, The Sandlot, The Goonies, etc.

#MSWL Women's fiction about female friendship.

#MSWL A book about a group of female friends in the vein of THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS--but modern.

I want to be more specific about this #MSWL. I want something that gives me the nostalgia and friendship of The Sandlot (like this does) while also bringing in the awesome sci-fi adventure we see in Stranger Things. Don't comp if it's just sci-fi without the other elements.

6. Two very different types of girls learning to appreciate each other and become best friends. #mswl

Here for this! Love Anne/Gilbert chemistry and Anne/Dianna friendship.Sorry to keep stealing your #MSWL but also stop reading my mind!

#MSWL the opposite of this. I'd love a kickass girl group. Female friendships are so important in YA, give them to me!
