Young Adult summer reads

[ultrasure]

Could we have a thread with recommendations for 13/14+ readers. We are not going anywhere this summer and dd does love to chill with a book.

I'll start with both my teens have liked

The Book Thief

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Love & Gelato

Everything, Everything

The Summer I Turned Pretty

The Cousins

The Inheritance Games

The Naturals

One of Us Is Lying

We Were Liars

Hunger games

Very grateful for book recommendations to keep YP from being too bored.

For series:

Lockwood and Co.
The Mediator
School for Good and Evil
Chrestomanci
Scythe
Darkest Minds Trilogy
Uglies + Imposters (two series in the same universe)
Maze Runner
Artemis Fowl

For stand alone novels:

The Bone Houses
Hexwood
Project Hail Mary
Fire and Hemlock
Afterworlds

How would she be with books that aren’t YA but can still be read at that age?

Dracula
Wavewalker
Practical Magic

I was also going to suggest Fire and Hemlock. Other YA suggestions:

• Sally Lockhart series (Philip Pullman)
• Stravaganza series (Mary Hoffman)
• Books by Katherine Rundell

Babel (R. F. Kuang) and Robert Harris thrillers could be good options that aren't YA. I remember really enjoying Robert Harris's Pompeii at 12/13. I also remember enjoying The Time Traveller's Wife at 14ish.

Books my14 year old neice has enjoyed:
The Good Girl's Guide to Murder - Holly Jackson
Never Let Me Go- Kazuo Ishiguro
To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee
Holes- Louis Sachar
The Chrysalids- John Wyndham
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime - Mark Haddon

My daughter text me at 3am this morning, having stayed up basically all night reading The Escape Game. She loved it, and is devastated the next one isn't out until April next year.

@YouBelongWithMeI hate it when that happens. April next year feels like such a long wait for the next instalment.

@Sheeppigif she liked The Crysalids The Day of the Triffids and The Midwich Cuckoos are also both good.
