Check out National Public Radio's list of the 100 best Young Adult books. The list was created through a listener poll in which 75,220 people cast votes for their favorite novels. There are many standards (e.g. The Catcher in the Rye, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, The Hobbit) but also many surprising choices from new and emerging authors such as Becca Fitzpatrick (The Hush, Hush Saga), Mark Haddon (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), and Ransom Riggs (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children). Check out the complete list here! |
