So you read Jennifer Chambliss Bertman’s popular book (or the whole series) and loved it — now you’re on the hunt for books like Book Scavenger? Welcome! Recommending readalikes can be a tricky process, but I enjoy the process of finding similar threads running through even books that appear different on the surface. Today’s pick is Jennifer Chambliss Bertman’s Book Scavenger, a much-loved middle grade series about an exciting scavenger hunt with an engaging mystery!

Today’s pick is Axie Oh’s recent YA novel, XOXO. The book is the story of cello prodigy Jenny and the strange boy she meets in the US, who happens to be a K-Pop star as she discovers on a visit to Seoul, South Korea.

Today’s pick is Kelly Yang’s Front Desk, a bestselling book about an immigrant Chinese girl who often mans the front desk at the motel where her parents work. Mia is also passionate about writing and achieves several seemingly impossible goals throughout the story.

Today’s pick is Veera Hiranandani’s The Night Diary, a moving book about the Indian partition and a girl dealing with the grief of her mother’s death when she was a baby. The story is told through Nisha’s letters to her mother.

For this post, I’ve chosen teen female protagonists with big hearts, messy lives, mostly supportive families, foodie and somewhat bookish tendencies. You’ll also find fake dating and enemies-to-lovers tropes and one or two love triangles. If you or your kids loved this book, here are more books like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
