What Are the Best Books for Teens?

What are the best books for teens and young adults?

This is the third most asked question by teenagers, behind "Who cares?" and "Seriously?" I have this on good authority from a guy who lives in his mom's basement and plays Pokemon professionally. I believe him. Seriously.

Actually, this is a common question from teens, and from mothers who wish to coerce their teen into a reading habit by introducing them to "the best book ever." Well, fear not, seekers of teen literary wisdom. This blog attempts to answer that question by introducing you to the best of the best teen books, from all categories. Some are older (but still awesome). Some are more recent (and also awesome). Some are so new that the paint on the cover has not yet dried (oh, and awesome).

This blog will also answer other questions relevant to teen literature, questions of great importance with answers of even greater wisdom. Or my lame opinions - one or the other. Either way, I will try to keep it entertaining. My credentials you ask? I'm an independent author of young adult novels with a reading habit of about twenty young adult books per year. Which puts me somewhere between clueless and "okay, maybe." As with all free thinkers, that is for you to decide.
