Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Caribbean Characters

During the month we’ll be virtually traveling around the globe to celebrate characters from far off places. Today we’re visiting the beautiful island nations of the Caribbean. As with any list, I’ll never be able to share titles from every country or share every individual’s experience. But, I hope you enjoy these titles as much as I have with Caribbean characters!

1. Marcus Vega Doesn’t Speak Spanish by Pablo Cartaya
2. The Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste
3. Gone to Drift by Diana McCaulay
4. Merci Suárez Changes Gears by Meg Medina
5. Lucky Broken Girl by Ruth Behar
6. A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry
7. American Street by Ibi Zoboi
8. The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
9. The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
