One benefit is that it broadens the reader's perspective. For instance, reading about real - life struggles in different parts of the world can make a young adult more empathetic.

For young readers, 'A Long Walk to Water' by Linda Sue Park is a great choice. It's based on the true story of Salva Dut, a Sudanese boy who had to endure a long and difficult journey. 'I Survived' series by Lauren Tarshis is also good. Each book in the series is based on a real - life disaster like the sinking of the Titanic or Hurricane Katrina, which can be both educational and exciting for young readers.

There's also 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle. It's a science - fiction - flavored young adult book that takes readers on an intergalactic adventure with the main character as she tries to save her father and battle against the forces of evil.
