We’re living in a golden age of young-adult literature, when books ostensibly written for teens are equally adored by readers of every generation.

So here are a few books (continually updated) from The Guardian's selection.

Protesting chickens, a mischievous bear, hunt the ballerinas and a Swedish horror story, here are The Guardian's best pick of children's books.

Great story
This book was very good and I would recommend it to anyone looking to a young adult fiction book that was very realistic to the families who live like the ones in the book.

[A Plague of Shadows] by [Travis Simmons] was a very quick read. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot. I see it is called "A New Adult Dark Fantasy" but I do not see what makes it 'adult'. I usually equate that with content that I can't put in my classroom. I did not find any of that in this book. To me it was a simple battle of good vs. evil. I hope to read the next installment in [The Harbingers of Light Series].

The only adult novel released by the famous children's author A.A. Milne, and there's not one stuffed animal in the whole story!. Here's my review https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/07/19/two-famous-authors-two-uncharacteristic-works/

Meh... DNF @ 21%

Well it seems I'm still not back into New Adult. And, if I remember correctly, I wasn't too fussed about the first one either--it just got good near the end.

Not for me
