Young Adult
Though the definiton of a “young adult book” is somewhat up for debate, for the purposes of this page we are defining it as books suitable for children ages 12-18 and beyond, especially those told from the perspective of characters the same age. From the most delightfully cheesy and cliche stories to the most creative and original, YA, at its best, embraces everything that we love about books. Revist an old favorite from your youth or discover something new, no matter your age.

Sunrise on the Reaping: A Hunger Games Novel
The phenomenal fifth book in the Hunger Games series!
When you've been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?
As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.
Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.
When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
