@physicssteve When I was a teenager, I read "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life" by #KaavyaViswanathan quite a few times - the protagonist is skilled in science/maths, but she also tries to fit in with the other girls in school.
Also: "My Heart and Other Black Holes" by #JasmineWarga - pretty heavy topics, protagonist is a female physics nerd.
"An absolutely remarkable thing" by #HankGreen features a lot of very cool, diverse and sciency characters. #books
