Young Adult publishing is a world unto itself. The genre has exploded in recent years (its flames much fanned by the emergence of spaces such as 'BookTok') - and continues to grow at a remarkable rate. Within these pages lie love stories, murder mysteries, fantastical world-building and gritty realism.
Below we share a rundown of a few of our favourites of new, fun, and exemplary Young Adult fiction and graphic novels. And, of course, don't be put off by the name - Young Adult Fiction is to be enjoyed by adults of all ages!
