Addendum to the last post
Here are things so far that are worth mention but don't fit on my list :)
Featuring but not mainly about POC:
Francesca Lia Block, Weetzie Bat books
Michael de Larrabeiti, The Borrible trilogy
Tamora Pierce, The Circle of Magic quartet/The Circle Opens quartet/The Will of the Empress
Daja's Book and in the first quartet and Cold Fire in the second are about the black girl in particular
ETA: AndBriar's Book and Street Magic are about the kid I hadn't realized was multiracial.
Sherwood Smith's Wren books (there are subtle clues that Wren's biracial but it's not clear enough for the other list IMO)Graphic novels:
Runaways
Not fantastical, but by POC about POC and awesome:
Sherman Alexie, Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Louise Erdrich, The Birchbark House, The Game of Silence
Naomi Hirahara, 1001 Cranes
RK Narayan, Swami and Friends
Some helpful blogs suggested to me, with suggester's comments (I haven't followed 'em yet):
American Indians in Children's Literature: She deals with NA children's books and discusses racist elements.
Young Adult Science Fiction: A great site for YA SF.
Stuff as dreams are made on: A really, really, really good site. Chris Howard is a prolific reviewer of all kinds of books, mostly spec-fic. And he does a lot of kid books, some POC.
TheHappyNappyBookseller: It's mostly kids and YA lit by/about POC, some other books too.
