The 2026 publishing season will be slowing down over the coming weeks as we race toward the end of the year. That’s reflected a bit in this week’s new YA book releases. While we have plenty of new hardcovers to look forward to, including new entries into several series, paperback releases are particularly noteworthy this week.

This week’s new YA book releases include a powerful exploration of race and identity; a story of a kitchenmaid turned vessel for spirits and deities; a story about the forced relocation of the Cherokee people in the 19th century, based on the real Trail of Tears; and more.
