44 Recent Young Adult Debuts to Read Now

"If you love discovering great stories from new voices, then the past few months have been quite a treat in the world of young adult fiction! Plenty of debut novels from first-time authors (or, in a few cases, from authors writing YA for the first time) hit shelves during the summer and fall.
In the interest of helping you add even more books to your Want to Read shelf (we know, we know), we gathered up a bunch of YA debut books published between May and October. Some of these titles were among the buzziest books of the season, while others are still flying a bit under the radar—but with average ratings of 3.5 stars and above, early reviewers agree that these are all raveworthy reads."
