Thanks for the comment and for making it sticky, Artie. Hopefully people will come back and add to it frequently.
Thanks for the feedback Shelliep. Hope it helps people.

Here's a blurb from Shelley Pearsall's book ALL OF THE ABOVE:
Inspired by actual events, All of the Above is the delightful and suspenseful story of four inner city students and their quest to set a math record by building the world's largest tetrahedron.
Don't know if this is an example of want you want or not, but it came to my mind. When I worked in an inner city school there was one day I was desperate to calm middle schoolers who were quite unruly so I grabbed this book and started reading out loud, very loud. ( I think I prayed, too) Anyway, you could hear a pin drop. No kidding. It captured them and was one very memorable experience for me and them. They looked forward to me reading this book through the semester.
jojohn:
Thanks Carol!. I'm also looking for fiction and non-fiction that feature math and science so this is one I definitely need to find.
HDWestlund:
This is going to be a fantastic resource for me as a bookseller. Thank you so much for starting this, jojohn. And thank you, too, for making it sticky!

A blog I like is Reading in Color http://blackteensread2.blogspot.com/
Quote from her about page:
"Reading in Color is a book blog that reviews YA/MG books about people of color (poc). There is a serious lack of books being reviewed by teens that are YA/MG about people of color, I hope my blog is one step closer to filling in this void."
