Can you recommend any basketball novels for young adults?

Sure. 'The Crossover' is a great one for young adults. It's about twin brothers who are into basketball. The story is told in verse, which makes it really engaging and different. It deals with themes like family, friendship, and growing up, all while having basketball at the heart of it.

'Harriet the Spy' by Louise Fitzhugh was also around in 1991. It follows Harriet, a young girl who spies on her neighbors and classmates. It's a fun read that also teaches about the consequences of snooping and the importance of honesty.

Sure. 'Children of Virtue and Vengeance' by Tomi Adeyemi is a great 2019 YA fantasy novel. It continues the story from the first book, with more magic, adventure, and the fight against oppression in a fictional African - inspired world.

Sure. 'The Descendants' novelization of the movie is a great choice for young adults. It has all the elements that appeal to that age group, like friendship, adventure, and a touch of romance. The characters are relatable, and it's a fun read that also has some positive messages about acceptance and change.

Another one is 'The Future of Another Timeline' by Annalee Newitz. It has a strong young female protagonist who time - travels to fight against misogynistic changes to history. It's exciting and thought - provoking for young adults interested in dystopian stories with a feminist slant.

I would recommend 'Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet' for young adults. It not only has an exciting superhero story but also explores themes of leadership, culture, and heritage. The character of Black Panther is a great role model for young people. Also, 'Luke Cage: Noir' could be appealing as it shows a tough, street - smart superhero in a different light that young adults might enjoy.

I'm not aware of many 'girl in a box novels' specifically targeted at young adults. However, if there are any, they might explore themes like self - discovery and breaking free from limitations in a way that is suitable for that age group.

'When Dimple Met Rishi' by Sandhya Menon is also popular. It's a story about two Indian - American teens. Dimple is a strong - willed girl focused on her career goals, and Rishi is a more traditional boy. Their encounter and the subsequent relationship development is a charming and engaging read for young adults interested in romance.

'The Hate U Give' is a great latest drama novel for young adults. It deals with important social issues like racism and police brutality in a very engaging and dramatic way. The main character's journey is both inspiring and heart - wrenching.

The 'His Dark Materials' trilogy by Philip Pullman has elements that could be related. In this series, there are dark and mysterious elements, and ravens could be seen as symbols within the complex world he creates. It's a great read for young adults as it also has deep themes about growing up and morality.
