Young Adult Literature (YAL) is an explosive genre of books, gaining ground with each new novel published. Here you can find information about all types of young adult literature – series, historical fiction, sci-fi/fantasy – as well as book reviews, award winning titles, bestsellers, and information-packed blogs.
Though the new YAL being published is important and worth examining, older YA Fiction like Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High, as well as classic literature like A Separate Peace and To Kill a Mockingbird also find their way onto these pages. Take a look around and see great books are waiting for you to discover!
