The Retired English Teacher Reflects: YA Books That Aren't Just for Young Adults

Here are 90 books categorized as "Teen Fiction" or "Young Adult Reading" by authors, publishers, booksellers, and/or the ALA, usually as a marketing strategy to target readers and promote sales. Some are 19th century classic and semi-classic adventure stories; others are more recent items from mid-20th century writers that were conceived as "juveniles"; still others are contemporary works specifically aimed at high school aged readers. They all have one thing in common - they are all extremely well done and have much that will appeal to adult readers as well.
