This list includes novels published between 20, and we’ve limited it to one book per author. We can’t wait to see what the next 10 years bring, and we’re thankful to watch the industry growing.Īs this decade wraps up, we wanted to highlight 30 YA novels that powerfully impacted us during the last 10 years. There’s still a long way to go, but the work that’s being done makes us hopeful. This decade also saw the publishing world finally begin to prioritize releasing diverse and inclusive teen novels.

Coming-of-age stories are relatable no matter how old you are, and all of us understand what it’s like to be a teenager searching for an identity.

And not just because teens were reading more than ever, but because adults couldn’t get enough. Coming down from the Twilight boom and thundering past The Hunger Games, the leap into 2010 saw the YA lit explode. To say Young Adult books have had a spectacular decade is an understatement.
