Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite thing to do is read. I'll read any book you give me regardless of genre, but my absolute favorite genre is young adult, and I am honestly kind of sad that I will eventually outgrow this genre. So here are five young adult novels for every age group!
1. "The Probability of Miracles" by Wendy Wunder
This book by Wendy Wunder is a a dry, sarcastic book about a girl, Cam, with terminal cancer who has never been in love. When she is told she needs a miracle, she and her family travel to Promise, Maine. where unexplainable things are said to happen. While in Promise, Cam receives a bucket list of stuff to do before she dies.
This book is one of my all time favorites due to the sarcasm, subject matter, and the fact that it made me believe in love (and maybe even miracles.)
2. "This Is Where It Ends" by Marieke Nijkamp
"This Is Where it ends" shows four different perspectives of victims of a school shooting. This fictional novel not only shows the victims' lives during the incident, but also their lives before and what made the shooter do it.
This book is hard to put down and very touching. It also puts things into perspective with all the school shootings that have been taking place across the country.
3. "Looking For Alaska" by John Green
"Looking for Alaska" is John Green's first novel. The books tells the story of Miles "Pudge" Halter and his love for famous last words. In the book, Pudge is shipped off to a boarding school in rural Alabama. While there, Pudge meets the most interesting, intriguing girl he's ever met, Alaska, and his life is never the same.
This book is my absolute favorite John Green novel (though they are all amazing). I love it because of its humor, quotes, and of course famous last words.
4. "This Star Won't Go Out" by Esther Earl
"This Star Won't Go Out" is a collection of letters and journals written by 16-year-old Esther Earl, a girl dying of thyroid cancer. Esther Earl is also the inspiration for Hazel Grace in John Green's novel, "The Fault In Our Stars."
I really enjoyed this novel due to the fact that it showed dying and living from a real teenager's perspective.
5. "The Museum Of Intangible Things" by Wendy Wunder
"The Museum of Intangible Things" Is Wendy Wunder's second novel. This book is about two best friends, a road trip, romance and mental illness.
Yeah, I know Wendy Wunder is on this list twice, but this book is such a great read, and it's a great book to share with your bestie! This book really shows the unconditional love you have in a friendship, and it makes you want to get in your car and drive!
