Well, 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians' series by Rick Riordan is also excellent. It combines Greek mythology with modern - day adventures. Percy, a demigod, goes on various quests, and the books are filled with humor, danger, and a lot of cool mythological creatures.
Another good one is 'Divergent' by Veronica Roth. In a post - apocalyptic Chicago, society is divided into factions based on different virtues. The main character, Tris, has to figure out where she belongs and fight against the system. It's action - packed and thought - provoking.
I highly recommend 'Legend' by Marie Lu. It's set in a future where the United States has split into two warring nations. The two main characters, Day and June, come from opposite sides but end up on a journey together. Another good one is 'Red Rising' by Pierce Brown. It's about a lower - class boy named Darrow who tries to rise up against the oppressive ruling class in a far - flung future society.
Sure. 'The Giver' is a great one. It's set in a dystopian future which has some historical elements in terms of how society evolved. 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' is also very good. It gives a unique perspective on the Holocaust. And 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry' which is about the experiences of an African - American family in the South during the 1930s.
Sure. 'The Lightning Thief' from the 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series is great for beginners. It has simple language, a fast - paced plot, and interesting characters. It's a good introduction to young adult fiction as it combines adventure and mythology.
Some great young adult fiction books are 'Looking for Alaska' by John Green. It delves into themes of love, loss and self - discovery among teenagers. 'Eragon' by Christopher Paolini is about a young farm boy who discovers a dragon egg and embarks on an epic adventure. 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs features a boy who discovers a strange home filled with children with special abilities.
One more is 'Thirteen Reasons Why' by Jay Asher. It's a thought - provoking book that delves into the reasons behind a young girl's decision to end her life. It's an important read as it also touches on topics like bullying and mental health among young adults.
There's also 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle. It's a science - fiction - flavored young adult book that takes readers on an intergalactic adventure with the main character as she tries to save her father and battle against the forces of evil.
Definitely. 'The Giver' is a well - known best - seller. It makes readers think about the cost of a seemingly perfect society. 'Uglies' was very successful. The concept of beauty standards in a dystopian world was quite unique. 'Legend' also had great sales. The contrast between the two main characters from different sides of a divided nation was really engaging.
Well, 'The Scorpio Races' by Maggie Stiefvater is a wonderful choice. It's about a deadly horse race on an island. 'The Archived' by Victoria Schwab is set in a library that houses the dead. And 'Caraval' by Stephanie Garber, which is a magical and immersive story about a game and a sister's search for another sister. These are just a few of the amazing books that could be part of the 35 best.

And 'Red Queen' by Victoria Aveyard has a really interesting premise of a world divided by blood - color and superpowers.
