Officially making her debut in 1959, Barbie is nothing new, but she’s reinvented herself over the years. Going from astronaut to paleontologist to computer engineer and now to real life, the pink princess proves there’s nothing she can’t do, along with her handsome love interest, Ken. With an accomplished resume like that, life in plastic has been fantastic for Barbie, and her fans both old and new are ready to ride along in the pink Corvette for her iconic journey.

Barbie is smart, multifaceted and all about individual expression, and these books reflect those vibes.

Rubi Ramos's "recipe for success" to get into prestigious Alma University is already off track. When Alma waitlists Rubi's application, Rubi will need to be distraction-free to make the grade and keep her parents from finding out. And that means falling for her cute surfer-slash-math tutor, Ryan, definitely won't work. And neither will breaking her mother's ban on baking—her parents didn't leave Cuba so she could bake just like them. When the First Annual Bake Off comes to town, Rubi's passion for baking goes from subtle simmer to full boil. Add to the mix that her crush on Ryan may be turning into a full-fledged relationship, and Rubi's life is suddenly so different from what it was.

Horse Barbie by Geena Rocero

As a young femme in 1990s Manila, Geena Rocero heard, “Bakla, bakla!,” a taunt aimed at her feminine sway. Eventually, she found her place in trans pageants, the Philippines’ informal national sport. When her competitors mocked her as a “horse Barbie” due to her statuesque physique, tumbling hair, long neck and dark skin, she leaned into the epithet. A year later, Geena moved to the U.S. where she could change her name and gender marker on her documents. But legal recognition didn’t mean safety. In order to survive, Geena went stealth and hid her trans identity, gaining one type of freedom at the expense of another. The high-stakes double life finally forced Geena to decide herself if she wanted to reclaim the power of Horse Barbie once and for all: radiant, head held high and unabashedly herself.
