"When a young adult novel makes a big impact with readers, it's only a matter of time before it gets a screen adaptation. And with the advent of streaming services, of which there are roughly 18 million now, young adult fiction is able to reach all-new audiences who may never have gotten the chance to consume these stories otherwise.
On Facebook and Twitter, we asked readers which recent young adult works (anything from about 2015 onward) they most wanted to see developed as movies or TV shows. Some of these picks have already been optioned by studios (like Children of Blood and Bone, One of Us Is Lying, and The Gilded Ones), and for a lot of readers, production can't get started soon enough.
We got a wonderful variety of answers from across a wide selection of genres, and in particular, readers were extremely keen on LGBTQ+ coming-of-age stories, charming rom-coms, and bloody revenge narratives."
