What are your teens enjoying reading?

[Princesa]

My girls love to read but I’m running out of ideas of books to buy them or recommend to them. They love Harry Potter, divergent, hunger games etc. Fantasy and dystopian. People are asking for ideas of what to buy them for Xmas and I’m out of ideas so thought I’d look for books for them.

Have they tried Phillip pullmans northern lights, currently being serialised on bbc sunday nights. There are three books in the original trilogy and were up to two of three in the follow up book of dust trilogy.

If they are open to myths and legends then I can’t recommend Rick Riordan highly enough. Greek myths, Roman myths and Norse ones - my DS won’t have a bad word said about this guy, he REALLY loves his books (not that I’ve said a bad word against him but I did once pronounce his surname wrong 😳😬 won’t be doing that again ha, ha)

DS has just said they may well like the Maze Runner series too

Darren Shan Cirque de Freak collection and The Demonata collection. I bought these for my teens and also read them myself.

My teen is an Anime/Manga fan she enjoys My Hero Academia, Pokemon, Fairytail, Yu-Gi-Oh. She’s also enjoyed the Hunger Games and the Philip Pullman etc

[Inky]

Disney twisted tales at Asda are good, twists on the classic stories

I'd also recommend His Dark Materials - I read them as a teen and still love them as a 30-something! There is also La Belle Sauvage, which is a prequel and The Secret Commonwealth which is a sequel, both part of The Book of Dust series. I've not read the latter yet, hoping it will be in my stocking

I've just got the extinction trials trilogy for ds for xmas bargain at £6 for all 3.

He prefers manga/anime but his english teacher won't accept those as reading books

They read quite a lot and have read his dark materials, maze runner and the Percy Jackson ones. They have the gist book of dust but I think there may be a newer one out now. They’ve read a few of the Disney twisted tales ones but I’ll have to check which ones. I’ve not heard of the demonata ones so I’ll look those up.
