Any recommendations in young adult fiction for my high schooler’s summer reading list?
Any preferences within that? What are your kiddos interests? YA fantasy I liked six of crows, daughter of smoke and bone
Sci fi: ready player one
Magical realism: I’ll give you the sun
Realistic fiction: everything everything and the sun is also a star (a bit romancy)
Historical fiction: salt to the sea and between shades of gray
She likes them all! Thanks for the suggestions!
Also Chinese Cinderella (memoir) and the Redwall series (a bit younger but I loved them and read them from fifth grade through college lol)
I like the idea of a series! That’s something she hasn’t really explored.
Six of crows is a duology and the grisha series is in the same universe, Smoke and bone is a trilogy, I also loved tales of the otori but can’t remember if the content was more adult or not. It’s been a long time since i read them.
A wrinkle in time is also a series!
What genre do they like?
She reads all genres.
My students really like The Disappearing Act and Kai’s Secret
One of my favorite reads in high school was Animal Farm. Does the student like Romance, Fantasy? What sort of books do they enjoy reading?
She likes most genres. If it doesn’t capture her interest right away though, she moves on to something else.
Can it be anything she chooses or are there certain requirements?
This isn’t school required reading but more like mom required lol.
Oh ok. Lol. What have been some of their favorite reads lately? Just trying to get a sense of what he/she may like.
Cinder, Scarlet, Crest, & Winter ( The Lunar Chronicles) so good!
More Than This
Eleanor and Park
It’s Kind of A Funny Story
Dead to You
Will Grayson,Will Grayson
Boy Toy
Tuck Everlasting
The Body of Christopher Creed
Just read Emergency Contact and loved it- reminded me of a rainbow Rowell book! Anything by Julie Buxbaum! Anything by Becky Aliberti. Everything, everything. Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young.
The Hate U GIVE BY Angie Thomas
Yep. This.
Sleight by Jennifer Sommersby
If she is an avid reader, think about doing Uppercase! She gets a brand new autographed copy of a new release (often not even on shelves yet), and several booking items. I have loved this service and have added to my classroom library every month. However, if you guys are going to library, pick up a copy of Jodi Picoult’s Nineteen Minutes. Great read for any high schooler.
Or owl crate!
Great suggestions! Thank you all so very much!!
My daughter loves the parasol protectorate series if they are into steampunk.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
The Young Elites by Marie Lu
Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
This is Where It Ends. Cracked.
Harry Potter. Chronicles of Narnia.
