My top 6 books I recommend (for young teens)

Hey guys!
Today I'm going to be blogging about my top 10 young teen's books. I highly recommend all these books to everyone, as most are unisex. So here they are in no particular order:

1.The Hunger Games Trilogy- Suzanne Collins
This series of three is about a girl called Katniss Everdeen who grows up in a country called Panem, which is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol. She is chosen to participate in "The Hunger Games", which is an annual event in which the participants have to fight to the death. This is a story about young love, survival and standing up for what's right- despite all circumstances.

2.Harry Potter Series- J.K Rowling 
Harry Potter is about a boy called Harry who, after living 12 hard years with his extended family (as his parents had supposedly died in a car crash) finds out he is a wizard and is given a place at Hogwarts, a school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry then meets friends, discovers more about his mysterious past and starts a never-ending fight against evil.

3.The fault In Our Stars- John Green
This is a heart-warming story about two teens with cancer who, under every circumstance, fall in love. This book shows you the importance to love and be loved and understanding the value of loss. This book will move you and make you laugh and cry along with all the characters.

4. Looking For Alaska- John Green
Another by John Green, Looking for Alaska is a novel about a boy called Miles- smart, unsociable and has a passion for last words. He is tired of his dull life in Florida, and enrolls at  Culver Creek, a boarding school in Alabama to "Seek a Great Perhaps". There, he makes friends, becomes better educated and has the time of his life until a great tragedy occurs, which he attempts to make sense of. This book talks about loss, friendship, and the importance of self-discovery.

5.Girl Online and Girl Online On Tour- Zoe Sugg
Written by the well-known British vlogger Zoella, Girl Onlie and Girl Online On Tour is a story about Penny Porter who, under the alias Girl Online, starts a blog. Then she visits America and meets Noah- a gorgeous guitar-strumming, rock-godtastic boy. However, Noah has a secret-something that he's hiding that will change their relationship. This debut novel and it's sequel has been the biggest-selling fiction since records began.

6.The Book Thief 
This book is based in Nazi-Germany, at the height of WW2. Liesel Meminger is fostered and begins a new life. She attends school for the first time, and begins a love affair with words. From there, Liesel steals books from wherever she can- a grave yard, school and even from the mayor's library. But times have never been so dangerous in Germany. With the constant threat of the war, who knows what could happen next? This book is cleverly and elaborately written, featuring a boy with lemon-coloured hair and a Jewish fist-fighter.

So there we have it- my top 6 young adult recommendations. I hope you find these useful, please comment if you do!
Stay faithful,
