Can you recommend some must - read young adult science fiction books?

Sure. One great book from this list could be 'The Hunger Games'. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where teenagers are forced to fight to the death in an annual event. It has a strong female lead, Katniss Everdeen, and it really makes you think about power, survival, and society.

I'd recommend 'The Hunger Games' series. It's full of adventure and has complex characters.

These books are a great way to introduce young people to science fiction. Many of them have relatable characters, like the young heroes and heroines in 'The Giver'. In this book, the main character Jonas starts to question the seemingly perfect but actually very restrictive society he lives in. It makes readers of all ages consider the importance of memories, emotions, and freedom.

I highly recommend 'Legend' by Marie Lu. It's set in a future where the United States has split into two warring nations. The two main characters, Day and June, come from opposite sides but end up on a journey together. Another good one is 'Red Rising' by Pierce Brown. It's about a lower - class boy named Darrow who tries to rise up against the oppressive ruling class in a far - flung future society.

Another good one is 'Ready Player One'. It combines a lot of 80s pop - culture references with a virtual reality world that's really engaging. There are some funny moments when the main character, Wade, interacts with other players in the Oasis, and the whole concept of the hunt for Halliday's Easter egg is exciting as well as humorous in a young - adult - friendly way.

One great young adult lesbian fiction is 'Ash' by Malinda Lo. It reimagines the Cinderella story with a lesbian twist.

One classic is 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. It's a coming - of - age story that follows Holden Caulfield. Another is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, which deals with themes of racism and justice in the American South. 'The Outsiders' by S.E. Hinton is also great. It shows the struggles between different social groups from a young person's perspective.

Yes. 'Gone with the Wind' by Margaret Mitchell is a must - read. It gives a vivid picture of the American South during the Civil War and Reconstruction era, with a strong - willed and complex female protagonist. 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez is also an amazing book. It's full of magical realism, family sagas, and the passage of time.

Sure. 'Looking for Alaska' by John Green is a great one. It's about a boy named Miles who goes to boarding school and falls in love with a girl named Alaska. It deals with themes like friendship, love, and loss.

Well, 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury is a must - read. It shows a future where books are banned and burned, and the power of knowledge and free thought. 'Foundation' by Isaac Asimov is another excellent choice. It's about a group of scientists trying to save civilization during a time of galactic collapse. 'Starship Troopers' by Robert A. Heinlein is also a great science fiction book. It explores themes of military service, citizenship, and alien warfare.
