The teenage years are when many people either become readers for life or stop reading altogether. The right book makes the difference. This page holds young adult books that teenagers actually ask for, including The Hunger Games trilogy, The Fault in Our Stars and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. If you are a parent looking for books for teenagers, or a young reader hunting for your next series, you can buy young adult books online here.
The best books for teens have one thing in common: a character the reader cares about within the first ten pages. Series are a safe start, because a teenager who enjoys book one will ask for book two without being told. Dystopian adventures, teen fiction about school and friendship, and honest stories about illness, loss and family are all popular. Do not worry if the choice looks light. Reading speed and vocabulary grow with every book finished, whatever the genre.
