Sure. 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian' by Sherman Alexie. It's about a Native American boy who leaves his reservation school for a white school in town, facing the challenges of different cultures and street - like social situations. 'We Were Liars' by E. Lockhart is also good. It has an air of mystery set among a group of privileged teens with their own version of a street - smart code. And 'The Hate U Give' by Angie Thomas. It shows the reality of life in a neighborhood affected by violence and police brutality, which is very much a part of street life for many young people.
Definitely. 'Stargirl' by Jerry Spinelli is a wonderful street YA novel. Stargirl is an eccentric character who doesn't conform to the normal social norms of her high - school - like street society. 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry also has elements of a street - less utopia where a young boy starts to question the order of things. It's a thought - provoking look at a different kind of street - less world. Another great one is 'Speak' by Laurie Halse Anderson. It deals with the trauma of a girl who has been raped and how she copes in her high - school environment which can be seen as a type of street with its own unspoken rules.
Yes. 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky is a great choice. Charlie's experiences in high school and his interactions with his friends are like a journey through the streets of adolescence. 'Thirteen Reasons Why' by Jay Asher is also a notable one. It shows the complex web of relationships and secrets in a high - school setting which can be likened to a street with its own dramas. And 'Eleanor & Park' by Rainbow Rowell. The story of two misfits falling in love while dealing with their own family and school (street - like) issues is really engaging.
Well, 'The Catcher in the Rye' is often regarded as a great street YA novel. Holden Caulfield's adventures in New York City expose the seedy underbelly of the city streets as he tries to find his place in the world. 'Go Ask Alice' is another. It gives a harrowing account of a girl's descent into the drug - filled street culture. And 'I Am the Cheese' by Robert Cormier. The main character's journey through a somewhat distorted and menacing world has elements of street - like paranoia and discovery as he tries to figure out his past and his identity.
I'd recommend 'Caraval'. The descriptions of the Caraval game and the world it's set in are so vivid. Scarlett's adventure is filled with mystery and wonder. 'Turtles All the Way Down' is very good too. It shows the daily struggles of a teen with OCD in a very honest way. Also, 'Strange the Dreamer' is amazing. The way Laini Taylor creates the world and the characters makes it a really immersive read.
I'd also recommend 'Fangirl' by Rainbow Rowell. Cath is a fangirl who is trying to navigate college life while also writing fanfiction. There's a cute romantic subplot between her and Levi that shows the growth of their relationship and Cath's own personal growth.
Well, 'Throne of Glass' is also a top - trending YA novel. It follows the story of Celaena Sardothien, an assassin. The series has a richly - built fantasy world, full of political intrigue, magic, and strong female characters. It has a large and dedicated fan base among YA readers.
Sure. 'Throne of Glass' by Sarah J. Maas has a great deal of steamy romance. Celaena's relationships in the series are complex and often filled with passion.
Sure. 'The Hunger Games' series is a must - read. It's a gripping story of survival and rebellion. Then there's 'Divergent'. It has a complex world - building with the faction system. Also, 'The Maze Runner' is really good. The mystery of the maze keeps you hooked.
Definitely. 'The Book Thief' has a really moving ending. Liesel survives the war, and the story of her life during that time is one that is both tragic and full of hope. The ending really cements the themes of the book. Another one is 'Code Name Verity' where the ending is a mix of tragedy and heroism. The two main characters' fates are intertwined in a very powerful way. And 'Fangirl' has a great ending where Cath finds her place in college and also in her relationship with Levi. It's a coming - of - age story with a great conclusion.
Sure. 'More Happy Than Not' is a great one. It deals with a boy's struggle with his sexuality and a special procedure that could change his memories. Another is 'The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue' which has a bisexual main character and is full of adventure. And 'Far from You' is also a good LGBT YA novel that focuses on a girl's journey after her best friend's death and her relationship with another girl.
Sure. 'Daisy Jones & The Six' is a great 2019 YA novel. It's written in an interview - style format and tells the story of a fictional rock band in the 70s. It's really engaging and gives you a feel for the music scene of that era. Another is 'A Curse So Dark and Lonely' which is a Beauty and the Beast - inspired story with a strong female lead and an interesting take on the classic fairy tale.
For beginners, 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry is an excellent choice. It's a thought - provoking story set in a seemingly utopian but actually very controlled society. 'Anne of Green Gables' is also very accessible. It tells the story of an orphan girl with a vivid imagination who comes to live on a farm in Canada.
