Hey readers!

Here are the best works under Young Adult fiction that we thought every one should have read.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

When he befriends two seniors, he's pulled into a life of parties,  music, and drama, and finds his whole world opening up. No, the book is not about a good boy gone bad. 

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
This classic novel based on the author’s life is an endearing tale of four sisters whose family fortune is lost in the midst of the Civil War.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Eleanor and Park are two misfits in the society who are perfect for each other. They meet on the school bus and fall in love. This is the story of one year in their lives, as they bond over shared love of comics and music, and face heartbreaking issues of race and abuse. 

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Terminally ill Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster meet at a cancer support group and fall hopelessly in love. Their love for each other promises to make their little time on earth worth remembering. This heartbreaking tear-jerker is a beautifully written story about finding hope even after the death of a loved one.

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
Everything, Everything follows the young Madeline Whittier, who is allergic to the outside world until she falls in love with the boy next door. The book is about the thrill and heartbreak that happens when we break out of our shell to do crazy, sometimes death-defying things for love. 

A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas
The series retells multiple fairy tales including The Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone with faerie lore. The trilogy focuses on the tale of Feyre, as she is brought into the faerie lands of Prythian, after murdering a faerie.

Funny, heartbreaking, and beautifully written, the novel is based on the author's own experiences. Illustrated with amazing drawings by Ellen Forney, the book chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live. 

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Out of this list, I have read Little Women which is a great book, but due to it being a book from the older times it does not have any modern drama a great read nevertheless. I read Thirteen Reasons Why after I liked the review by a fellow Youth Reporter on TOI. The Fault In Our Stars is my favourite in this list. I was crying bitterly at the end and finally realised the depth of the plot. It was really excellent.

Akshita Pandey LILAVATI BAI PODAR (A)-SCRUZ

I have many books on my list but the ones that have topped the lists are Wonder. It is a heart-touching and amazing novel. The Harry Potter series have topped my lists. J.K Rowling has described the wizarding world and Hogwarts very magnificently.

Yes Akshita, I agree with you.

Asmita D.A.V Public School, Thane

Among these I have read a few but my favorite is always The Fault in our Stars by John Green. I think Looking for Alaska, another book by John Green should also have made the list.

I have read most of the books mentioned and my favorites were Thirteen Reasons Why, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and The Fault In Our Stars. But, I really wished if they could''ve mentioned Looking For Alaska and some of the books written by Nicholas Sparks. The books written by him are pure magic and the best one of his'' is ''A Walk To Remember''. One of my personal favorites.
