53 YA Books That Have Been (And Will Be) Adapted for the Screen

"There's a saying in the YA (and, let's be real, general) world: The movie is never as good as the book. But that doesn't mean that the movies and shows that come from the page aren't any good, and a lot of times they really are in their own right!
Love, Simon is one of our all-time faves, and The Hate U Give still makes us cry every time.
We thought we'd embrace the adaptations that have come and gone and used it to inspire our Year of Epic Reads challenge! So, below, we rounded up a whopping handful of books that have been, and are in the process of being, adapted for the screen. Dive in and enjoy either before or after viewing—we promise you'll love each novel that much more!"
