52 Books That Hooked Readers on YA

"The breadth of the young adult genre has only grown wider since the days of The Outsiders and Sweet Valley High. Now there are plenty more YA heroes to choose from: heroes who fight in dystopian arenas, navigate treacherous faerie courts, explore alternate realities, and more.
And while the main characters may be teens, that doesn't mean they won't appeal to all readers. So if you're curious about the genre but aren't sure which books to read first—we've got you covered.
We asked our followers on Twitter and Facebook to tell us which books hooked them on YA and made a list of some of their most popular responses."
