Some young adult novels with overly simplistic views on complex issues can be considered trashy. For example, if a book tries to address a serious social issue like poverty or discrimination but does it in a very superficial way. Also, novels that are just trying to ride the wave of a popular trend, like when dystopian novels were all the rage and some were just really poor imitations. There are also those that have a lot of unnecessary and forced love triangles which seem to be there just for the sake of having some sort of relationship drama.
'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman in graphic novel form is also great. It follows a boy who is raised by ghosts in a graveyard. The illustrations add to the spooky and magical atmosphere of the story, and it has a unique coming - of - age narrative.
