I'd recommend 'The Hunger Games' series. It's full of action and adventure, with a strong female lead.
I think 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' is a great choice. It's a sweet and charming contemporary YA novel that focuses on relationships and self-discovery.
For beginners, 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry is excellent. It makes you think about a seemingly perfect but actually very controlled society. 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle is also good. It's a science - fiction adventure that takes the characters across different dimensions. 'The Lightning Thief' is a great start too. It's easy to read and introduces Greek mythology in an exciting way.
Many of them have strong teen protagonists. For example, in 'Divergent', Tris is a very determined character.
You should check out 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before'. It's a sweet and charming story. Another good one is 'The Maze Runner' series, full of mystery and excitement.
I'd suggest 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah. It's a powerful adult novel with engaging characters and a compelling story.
I'd recommend 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak. It's a powerful story set during World War II.
I'd recommend 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' by Jenny Han. It has a sweet and relatable romance. The characters are charming and the plot is engaging.
I'd recommend checking out the 'John Green collection' for YA fiction. His books like 'The Fault in Our Stars' and 'Paper Towns' are popular.
Some great YA graphic novels include 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi. It's a powerful memoir about growing up in Iran during a time of political unrest. The art is simple yet effective in conveying complex emotions and experiences.
In 2022, 'Ophelia After All' was a notable YA novel. It's about a girl named Ophelia who discovers things about herself and her sexuality. It's a heartwarming story about self - discovery and acceptance. 'Tokyo Dreaming' is another one. It's a sequel and continues the story of a girl in Tokyo dealing with family, love, and her own dreams in a different culture.
One of the latest YA novels is 'Chain of Thorns' by Cassandra Clare. It continues the Shadowhunters series with its engaging plot and well - developed characters.
