Welcome to the world of irresistible young adult fiction! Every month, our team takes a look at the books being published and how they're resonating with early readers. We use this information to put together a roundup of soon-to-be favorites, from tales set in the suburbs to epics in realms of mystery and mischief.
For January, we're getting the royal treatment from sweeping fantasies, including King of Scars, The Wicked King, and The Girl King. In the contemporary world, we have a high school recasting of a certain Tudor tyrant, a new page-turning thriller from the author of One of Us Is Lying, plus a paranormal series set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Add the books that catch your eye to your Want to Read shelf, and let us know what you're reading and recommending in the comments!
