These 12 books feature disabled characters who are complex, flawed, heroic, romantic, funny—everything abled characters get to be.
✨ Many of these stories are Young Adult (YA) or Middle Grade (MG), where disability is not something to “overcome,” but simply part of the character's full, beautiful identity.
In these books:
- Chronic pain doesn’t vanish with love—it becomes part of how you love.
- Anxiety isn’t magically cured by friendship—but friends do help you breathe through panic.
- Wheelchairs mean self-advocacy—not waiting to be carried.
- Joy and struggle coexist. And both are valid.
Many of the authors included are disabled themselves, writing from lived experience. Their voices make these stories unforgettable.
