"Young Adult fiction is an inherently difficult thing to categorise. While on paper it simply means literature suitable for teens and young adults or fiction written specifically for teenagers and young adults, YA has steadily become a genre and style in and of itself.
So often, YA authors are the ones pushing the boundaries of fiction, blending genres, tackling the deepest and darkest themes, celebrating queerness, and so much more. YA fiction is broad and beautiful; it implies a bright future for the world of literature, and we love that.
So, with all that in mind, here is a diverse selection of some of the best young adult novels ever written. You'll find books of all genres, from fantasy and sci-fi to horror, romance, and more. Many of these books were written by members of the LGBTQ+ community and hold important messages about queerness, patriarchy, capitalism, and other large topics."
