With Christmas right around the corner, we thought we’d put together a handy dandy guide of books to gift the YA reader in your life! These are the must-have YA novels this Christmas!
If they read books like The Prison Healer & Serpent and Dove get them… Deep is the Fen by Lili Wilkinson
Deep is the Fen is a fun, witchy romantasy set in a world where magic has become commercialised. The story follows Merry, a teenager who has just graduated high school and wants things to stay like they are forever. But, when one of her best friends (whom she also has a bit of a crush on) gets wrapped up in a sinister toadmen cult, Merry is forced to team up with her annoying (but very handsome) academic rival, Caraway Boswell, to save him.
If they read books like You’ve Reached Sam & We Are Okay get them… I'll Be Waiting For You by Mariko Turk
If the reader you’re shopping for prefers a contemporary novel that tugs at the heartstrings, we definitely recommend checking out I’ll Be Waiting For You. This story revolves around Natalie, who after the death of her best friend, throws herself into her senior project to help with her grief, filming a fake found footage ghost movie. A task that would be a whole lot easier if her handsome arch rival from school wasn’t working on his own project in the exact same place.
If they read books like A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder & Eleanor Jones is Not a Murderer get them… My Family and Other Suspects by Kate Emery
My Family and Other Suspects is a perfect choice for someone who loves a murder mystery with a strong voice. Ruth is not thrilled to be spending the weekend at the family farm. But when her step-grandmother passes away under suspicious circumstances, Ruth's dull weekend turns into an enforced-family-holiday-slash-possible-murder-investigation.
If they read books like A Series of Unfortunate Events or love watching shows like Stranger Things, get them…
Sunderworld Vol 1: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry by Ransom Riggs
From the bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, this is the first in a highly anticipated new series from Ransom Riggs. Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles, and every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Max's Adventures in Sunderworld - and that's because they are. Certain he's finally been chosen for greatness, Leopold risks everything to claim his destiny, and save the world of his childhood dreams.
If they like Heartstopper & Anything But Fine get them… I'm Not Really Here by Gary Lonesborough
If wholesome, coming-of-age queer romances are their favourites, then the latest from Gary Lonesborough is just the pick for them! When 17-year-old Jonah arrives in a new town, it feels like a foreign place. A new town means he needs to make new friends - which isn't always easy. When he joins the local footy team so he can get to know his new crush, Harley, he feels like he's moving closer to something good. But even though he knows what he wants, it doesn't mean he's ready for it.
If they like Dark Rise & Strange the Dreamer get them… Comes the Night by Isobelle Carmody
Comes the Night is a YA fantasy set in the near future, full of secrets, high stakes, peril, deceptions and dreamwalkers. Will lives with his father in a future domed Canberra where citizens are safe from extreme weather events, dangerous solar radiation and civil unrest. He never really questioned his carefully controlled existence, until the recurrence of an old nightmare propels him on a dangerous quest.
If they like The Hunger Games & Divergent get them… Songlight by Moira Buffini
Dystopian fans rejoice because Songlight is the perfect fix for anyone who had a Hunger Games phase! Set in a post-apocalyptic future where the world is at war, those gifted with songlight are pawns in a dangerous game of politics. But when power is everything, how will they survive?
