If you are looking for a middle grade #book that hits all the notes of Harry Potter but without the fatphobia, bigotry and TERFdom, check out “The Marvellers” by Dhonielle Clayton.  It’s about a magical academy that has just been forcibly integrated to include Conjurers and about the first young conjurer to attend.  It has close friends, magical animals, punn-y food, grand adventures, a mysterious villain, and a supportive and close-knit family.  And it’s for-real diverse.  Perfect for ages 6 to adult!
