"Whether it's magic schools, dystopias, paranormal love stories, or contemporary explorations of important real-life issues, young adult books are known to create long-lasting publishing trends and to produce passionate feelings in their fans of all ages.
For this year's YA week, we set off to discover Goodreads members' all-time favorite young adult reads. We started by focusing on titles that have been added the most to Goodreads members' shelves. Then we narrowed down our search to books with at least a four star–average rating and sorted by total reviews. Finally, given how prolific some YA authors are (looking at you, Cassandra Clare and Sarah J. Maas!), we also selected only the first book in a series."
