Cassandra Clare's books, more Infernal Devices than the Mortal Instruments, but she didn't go to bat to keep the POC nonwhite in the movie version.
The Girl With Borrowed Wings by Rinsai Rossetti - Arabic heroine
Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson - marketed as an adult book, but the hero is ambiguously in his late teens or early twenties and there's lots of crossover potential
Runaways - YA comic series from Marvel, several characters of color on the team
Traitor's Boy by Hilari Bell - this is the second in a two book series - borderline for this list - hero is 3/16 Native American, which is very important to the story since that makes him ineligible to inherit tribal property
Legend by Marie Lu - biracial hero
Fated by Alyson Noel - heroine is half-Hispanic
Earthseed by Pamela Sargent - mostly multiracial characters
Losers in Space by John Barnes - some of the main characters are POC
