For writers , we need more books about intersectionality and characters waking up to a cause or purpose for young people . This is their world , and we need well-written stories about that reality , as we as realistic ways that characters change and grow as a result . Too much YA fiction is either fantasy or formulaic problem of the week (with notable exceptions) Nothing wrong with genre fiction , but nice to have a wider range.
