Yes! Finally graphic novels are featured in a post! Especially ones for young readers! Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy is a very good and important retelling about what real family is. And Mooncakes looks so good too.

I would add Cheshire Crossing to this list -- phenomenal collab by Andy Weir and Sarah Andersen, and a fun crossover comic. Maybe it's not considered "new" because it's basically a redrawn webcomic...
I WANT! TO READ!! ALL OF THEM!!!!! (And I’ve literally never felt that way for anything besides graphic novels. We’re in a golden age)
Alexis vs. Summer Vacation by Sarah Jamila Stevenson!
Curious about the distinction between young adult and middle-grade. My nephew is close to 13 and I'd assume he's "middle-grade" but want to make sure I'm searching the right lists.
Lucille Lantz The Button a peek into the journey of a Jewish family from Austria to America. Exciting history filled with emotion.

I am literally going to read ALL of these, no doubt!
The Geeky F@b Five series is great for girls. They are about friendship, STEM, and making a difference at their school! They try to save the Monarchs, feed the hungry, and help shelter pets. Co-authored by a mom and her 14-year old daughter :)
