Must read books: Young adult novels

One great young adult lesbian fiction is 'Ash' by Malinda Lo. It reimagines the Cinderella story with a lesbian twist.

The 'Hunger Games' series is a definite must-read. It's got action, drama, and a strong female lead.

The 'Daughter of the Pirate King' series had a great addition in 2018. It offers a unique blend of adventure, magic and pirates, which is really appealing to young adult readers who like a bit of swashbuckling action in their fantasy.

I'd recommend 'The Hunger Games' series. It's full of adventure and has complex characters.

A must - read is 'Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda'. Although the main character is gay, it's part of the broader LGBTQ+ young adult literature and has a great representation of diverse relationships. 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post' is also essential. It really delves into the challenges that a lesbian teen faces, especially in a non - accepting environment. 'Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit' is a great read too as it shows the struggles of hiding a relationship in a small town.

One must - read young adult novel is 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. It's set in a dystopian world where teenagers are forced to fight to the death in an arena. Another great one is 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling. It takes readers into a magical world full of wizards, witches, and magical creatures. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee is also a classic young adult read that deals with important themes like racism and justice through the eyes of a young girl.

I'd recommend Divergent. It explores interesting themes and has great character development. Also, The Fault in Our Stars is a touching choice for many young adults.

A really good one is 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. It's a heart - wrenching story about two teenagers with cancer who fall in love. It deals with themes of love, mortality, and living life to the fullest despite difficult circumstances.

One classic is 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. It's a coming - of - age story that follows Holden Caulfield. Another is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, which deals with themes of racism and justice in the American South. 'The Outsiders' by S.E. Hinton is also great. It shows the struggles between different social groups from a young person's perspective.

Definitely 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott. The March sisters' stories are full of Christian values such as love, charity, and self - improvement. 'Pollyanna' by Eleanor H. Porter is also a great choice. The titular character's positive attitude and her way of seeing the good in everything is in line with Christian teachings. And 'Anne of Green Gables' by L. M. Montgomery, while not strictly a Christian book, has a lot of values like forgiveness and hope that are central to Christianity.
