What are some well - known young adult fiction lesbian fiction books?

I really like 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post'. It's set in a conversion therapy center where Cameron, a young lesbian, tries to come to terms with her identity. It's a powerful story that shows the challenges faced by young lesbians. And then there's 'Leah on the Offbeat', which is a sequel to 'Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda' and focuses on Leah, a bisexual girl in the young adult world.

An excellent example is 'Ammonite' by Nicola Griffith. It's set on a world where only women survive, and it really focuses on the relationships between them. It's a great exploration of a post - apocalyptic world from a lesbian perspective.

'Tipping the Velvet' by Sarah Waters. It's set in the Victorian theater world. The main character, Nan, falls in love with a male impersonator, Kitty, and the story follows their relationship and Nan's journey through different social strata and her own self - discovery as a lesbian.

'Tipping the Velvet' by Sarah Waters is well - known. It follows the story of a young woman's journey into the world of lesbian relationships in Victorian London. It has a richly detailed setting and engaging characters.

One great young adult fiction lesbian book is 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe'. It beautifully portrays the relationship between two boys which has themes that can be related to lesbian relationships in terms of first love, self - discovery, and acceptance. Another is 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post' which is set in a conversion therapy center and follows Cameron, a lesbian teen, as she tries to figure out who she is and resist the harmful ideas forced upon her. And 'Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit' is also a good choice. It's about a girl who has to hide her relationship in a conservative town.

'The Price of Salt' (also known as 'Carol') by Patricia Highsmith. It's a classic that beautifully portrays a love story between two women. The relationship between Therese and Carol is complex and tender, set against the backdrop of 1950s America, a time when such relationships were not openly accepted.

Suzanne Collins is well - known for 'The Hunger Games' series which has crime - related elements in a post - apocalyptic setting. Jay Asher is another, with 'Thirteen Reasons Why'. Also, John Green's works like 'The Fault in Our Stars' can be considered in this category to some extent as it deals with tough situations that could be related to crime on a young adult level.

One well - known banned book in adult fiction is 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. It has been challenged for its use of profanity and what some consider immoral behavior of the main character. Another is 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. The subject matter, which involves an older man's obsession with a young girl, has led to its banning in many places. Also, 'Ulysses' by James Joyce was banned for its complex and sometimes sexually explicit content.

A simple yet engaging option is 'Girl Mans Up' by M - E Girard. It's about a butch lesbian teen trying to find her place in the world. It's set in a contemporary - ish world but has elements of self - discovery and a bit of a 'fantasy' in the sense of the main character's journey to acceptance, which can be really inspiring for beginners.

Penguin Random House is also significant. It has a diverse range of young adult fiction. They have the resources to support both established and emerging young adult authors. For example, they've published books that cover various genres within young adult literature, from fantasy to contemporary coming - of - age stories.
