← Back to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books With Disability Masterlist // Genre: Young Adult

Representation of physical disabilities is hard to find, especially in sci-fi/fantasy, so my goal is to make a list containing as many sci-fi/fantasy books with physically disabled and chronically ill characters as possible. If you have a book to add, please fill out this form! (Sorry if it takes me a while to add new books sometimes!)

If you want to know more about this list, check out this post.

Since I have not read all of these books myself, I cannot guarantee that all the information is correct. I also cannot promise that these books have good representation of disability.

You can find my reviews for books that include disability (both physical and mental illness) here.

List below can be filtered by genre, character, or disability. If you’re looking for a specific book, it should come up if you use the blog search in the sidebar.
