Ruby Finley vs. the Interstellar Invasion

I don't read many middle school YA novels, but I wanted to read something by Bradford who was one of the co-hosts of Seattle WorldCon this year. She's a delightful person known primarily for media criticism and short fiction featuring Black Girl Magic. This book is a sci fi mystery featuring a young black girl who aspires to be an entomologist. It has mysterious insect-like aliens and a cast of kids who don't think their parents will believe their wild claims of an alien invasion. It is a light book but still satisfying for an adult reader. It won a 2022 Nebula for middle grade and YA novel.
