Definition of the "Teen and Young Adult Genre": First, it's important to define that the typical age range for this category is sixteen to twenty-five. But, don't feel bad if you're older than that range and still reading these ebooks. Some of them are monster bestsellers that everyone reads--of all ages. Setting aside the age "limitation," ebooks in the Teen and Young Adult genre are actually very broad in what fictional genres they cover. Fantasy, science fiction, horror and suspense are all genres that are encompassed in the overarching Teen and Young Adult genre. One specific aspect to these ebooks is that they oftentimes involve coming-of-age stories.
Here are some examples of bestselling ebooks in the Teen and Young Adult genre. J.K. Rowlings (Harry Potter), Stephanie Meyer (Twilight), Veronica Roth (Divergent), and Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games).
Her mom has disowned her. Her boyfriend tried to kill her. Her best friend is pretending she doesn’t exist. Oh yeah, and the entire world hates her. Literally. Happy sweet sixteen, Libby Sparks.
Not exactly an ideal birthday, but it’s pretty much what Libby was expecting when she showed up for her mandatory Inquest. Trying to run crossed her mind, but being hunted down by the Guardians…again, didn’t really sound much better than dying.
Having all seven talents marks Libby as one person capable of destroying the world, so it’s no big surprise when she ends up with a Guardian blade at her throat. What is a surprise is being spared in order to become a pawn of the most ruthless Guardian of them all. Play nice, hide her powers, and he’ll let her live until her eighteenth birthday, when her full powers unlock. Sounds like a pretty good plan until the life of her one remaining friend, Milo, is threatened and she’s forced to choose, abandon her friend to save her own life or embrace her destiny and truly become the Destroyer.
Sixteen-year-old Allie's going on the vacation of her life: tornado chasing. What can possibly go wrong with that? But a terrifying, magical experience leaves Allie shocked and confused, and she learns that she now bears an awful curse. Every time there's a storm, she turns into a tornado. Literally.
Allie has no choice but to flee her hometown--if she stays, her new powers could harm or even kill everyone she loves. She must return to the plains and find those who made her this way. But this journey is only the beginning of her adventure.
In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.
In a city of walls and secrets, where only one man is supposed to possess magic, seventeen-year-old Kai struggles to keep hidden her own secret—she can manipulate the threads of time. When Kai was eight, she was found by Reev on the riverbank, and her “brother” has taken care of her ever since. Kai doesn’t know where her ability comes from—or where she came from. All that matters is that she and Reev stay together, and maybe one day move out of the freight container they call home, away from the metal walls of the Labyrinth. Kai’s only friend is Avan, the shopkeeper’s son with the scandalous reputation that both frightens and intrigues her.
Then Reev disappears. When keeping silent and safe means losing him forever, Kai vows to do whatever it takes to find him. She will leave the only home she’s ever known and risk getting caught up in a revolution centuries in the making. But to save Reev, Kai must unravel the threads of her past and face shocking truths about her brother, her friendship with Avan, and her unique power.
Mason is not imaginary.
He's not a ghost, either.
And he's most definitely not a hallucination.
Mason is an Aerling, and the Sentinels' number one target.
Separated to keep each other safe and alive until Mason's eighteenth birthday when Olivia is expected to guide him back to the world of the Aerlings, neither one was prepared to be stripped of their best friend, of the person they love most. The pain being away from each other causes is the least of their worries, though, as the Sentinels intensify their search for Mason and bring the threat of danger to a whole new level.
I never wanted to move to Narrowdale. And doing so at the beginning of my freshman year of high school? Ugh, this is going to be the worst year ever.

I’m having the same spine-chilling nightmares over and over again. Sleep deprived, I begin to listen to vague and cryptic warnings of a scary homeless guy. Is something haunting me?
There’s something wrong in this town. Dark secrets are hiding beneath the surface, waiting for me to uncover them, and I’m afraid…

Dear Lord,
I need Your help and sooner would be better than later. Wouldn't you know it, just as soon as I decide to attempt the 5-Day Bible Study Challenge, my parents start heaping on loads of pressure to get me into Julliard. My friend Amy isn’t any better, urging me to ask Luke Ryan to homecoming. As if the cute, transfer jock would actually go out with me. I mean, we’re kinda friends, and I’ve enjoyed our Geometry study sessions, but in case Amy hasn’t noticed, I’m the invisible one at Aubrey Christian Academy, and I like it that way. On top of that, I have a feeling Luke’s concealing something behind those chocolate-brown eyes of his. I know I can be self-centered and a bit melodramatic, but I really do want to seek Your will for my life. Then maybe I’ll even figure out which direction points up.
Sincerely,
Andrea Jamison

Their adventures on their island home have become a welcome escape, and one of the only things in life the boys can truly rely on. Jessie, the youngest and a dreamer, becomes enamored with US plans for manned space flight and its race to the moon, stirring his own dreams of one day becoming an astronaut.

Life in town creates new challenges, including frequent fistfights with the school's hardened bully, Alan Welty, the families worsening finances and the looming threat of Vietnam and the military draft for Max.

An unexpected chain of events causes their estranged father to rethink his ways, professing a deep-hearted change. The family wants to believe him, but is it for real this time?

Sixteen year old Kait Lenox has a reputation as the weird girl in her high school, mostly because of her ex-best friend turned mean popular girl, Ariel, but maybe it has a little to do with the fact that Kait has a hobby crashing funerals.

Yet, instead of humiliating her for all the world to see, he asks for her help, and Kait finds herself entangled in a murder mystery. Not only is the thrill of the mystery exciting, but more importantly Ethan knows her name! A little sleuthing is well worth that!
Paddle boards, bonfires & bikinis won’t help Penny. She craves the boy from the woods; not knowing she’s already caught in his nightmare.
Penny’s nightmare is ruling her life and she doesn’t know why. It started a few months ago, and since then Red bulls, 5-hour energy and Starbucks drive-thru are her lifeline. Oh, and her best friend Ollie, who although recently kicked out of the house for telling his parents he’s gay, is more stable than Penny has ever been. An enabler, maybe, but he’s also the only one who has been there through thick and thin.
The thick being her recent psych-hospital stay (not sleeping kinda messes with a girl's brain). And the thin being their obsession with Bravo! TV.
When Penny’s parents decide to take their research of a rare Native American cult, the Bodaway, to a remote cabin, Penny is less than enthused. A few months in the woods on house arrest doesn’t sound ideal. (There may have been an incident where she fell asleep at the wheel. And the thing with the ‘shrooms. And the pot.). The fact that Ollie, now a homeless high-school graduate will be her babysitter softens the blow. Slightly.
When Penny meets Delsin in a clearing in the woods, everything changes. Apathy defines Penny, but Delsin lives life to it’s fullest. A shaman-in-training, he is everything Penny is not.
Delsin is Penny’s secret. She’s desperate to have something of her own, especially when Ollie starts dating Vince, leaving Penny all alone with her nightmares.
Each morning she comes to the woods, handing pieces of her heart to him, but when Penny is confronted with her worst nightmare, Delsin asks for a sacrifice Penny didn’t see coming.
He must be released for a little while.
But the one who sees doesn’t believe.
Elijah Goldsmith has nightmares he needs to ignore. Why would a rich kid from Manhattan dream three straight nights about a dragon and the destruction of St. Peter’s Basilica? He’s never even been to Rome.
It’s bad timing, too. He’s graduating soon and applying to be a spy in the International Security Agency. That’s where he meets Naomi. She’s the kind of girl who makes boys like Elijah want to share their secrets. Were they brought together to learn what his secrets mean? There’s more to their sparks than they think.
This is 2066, the year the world ends.
