“All the bright places” by Jennifer Niven

Thanks Lina!

Hi Everyone,

I need some suggestions for YA novels. I have a young relative going through cancer treatments (she is 13) and I am planning on sending her a care package and wanted to include some books. I do not read much YA material but wanted some suggestions for a few novels (stand alone) or a series that would be funny, upbeat and enjoyable reads for her. Thank you so much for the help!

Thanks,

Jamie

The throne of glass series,Percy Jackson series and the belles by dhonielle Clayton are all good! X

The whole Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling is really good.

She might enjoy the Lunar Chronicles (series), Midnight for Charlie Bone (series), Uglies (series), or The Selection (series).

The selection would be an awesome get away for your relative going through a hard time.

Maybe a couple stand alone's would be fun too! Try Heartless by Marissa Meyer (It's about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland before she is the Queen! You can check out my review on it too if you'd like!) Or Maybe a Sarah Dessen books, I just read "Someone Like You" and quite enjoyed it and also have a review for! I am currently reading Royals by Rachel Hawkins and it is sounding very promising so far!


Good luck!

I second The Selection Series, Percy Jackson, and the Lunar Chronicles. Those are all great reads for her age!

I also highly recommend the Gallagher Girls series. It follows 7th grader Cammie Morgan and her friends at an all girl spy school and it's really fantastic!

The Ever Afters (series) is also great. It's a similar read-a-like to the Percy Jackson series but instead of following a boy discovering his link to mythology characters, it follows a girl discovering her link to magic and fairytale characters.

And of course Ella Enchanted is a classic. In the book, Ella is younger and the story is much more lighthearted than the movie---no crazy evil uncles intent on murder to be found.

Hope this helps.

Carve the Mark, Replica Gemma/Lyra, To All the boys I've Lived Before, Everless, Dorthy Must Die, Ice Like Fire

Eliza and Her Monsters, This Song Will Save Your Life, The Last Time I Lied, The Benefits of Being an Octopus, The Best Kind of Magic and The Sweetest Kind of Fate, The Hate U Give, Moxie, The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl, Little Monsters, The Nowhere Girls
These are some I've read recently and LOVED!

Throne of Glass Series

To All The Boys I Loved Before trilogy by Jenny Han is such a light read and so cute. I would recommend this to those who wants to read something upbeat after reading heavy and dark stories/books

The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis! Very confronting but so so good.

The darkest mind trilogy

Son of a Trickster, Eden Robinson! It's so good, she is a Canadian author, and the second book in the trilogy is coming out October 2nd! I'm so excited to read it! It is very down to earth, with magic involved! Check it out! Let me know what you think :)

I highly recommend the Three Dark Crown series and/or Red Queen series!

I recommend Cinda Williams Chima's Seven Realms and Shattered Realms series. Her The Heir Chronicles is also a good series.

What I lost is really good!

I highly recommend

Sort of an Arabic desert feel to her world building, but with genie magic and some original mythology. I loved the series!

I definitely recommend the Percy Jackson series

Another one I often recommend is a great time travel series.



Smashwords has the first book for free.

The light we lost - Jill Santopolo

Where have all our Heroes Gone . www.amazon.com/author/jontucci

I’m not sure if you like futuristic books about governments taking over and characters breaking the law/control- these are fantastic books and have an amazing story line. You’ll become obsessed with the characters!

Matched series by Ally Condie
Divergent series by Veronica Roth
Eve Triology by Anna Carey

Happy reading! :)

Oh and Uglies by Scott Westerfield!

Eliza and her monsters is an amazing story! More of a self love story than a romance.

Where have all our Heroes Gone. 5 star inspiration.

I recommend the Lunar Chronicles!
They are absolutely amazing.
