Young Adult Fiction

Young Adult Fiction is the fastest growing genre in the publishing industry. According to the L.A. Times, while sales are down in other areas of the book publishing industry, hardcover sales of young adult books have seen a 30% increase in sales. And a quick look at Amazon's Top 100 Kindle sales shows that Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games trilogy has spent almost two years on the list.

YA titles are hot - read by teenagers and adults with equal zeal, and Suite 101 provides you with the latest news and reviews. We have scholarly essays on Harry Potter's adult themes, such as freedom of the press; reintroductions to classics, such as Ursula LaGuin's The Tombs of Atuan; and much more.
