Young Adult

Young adult (often abbreviated as YA) is a term used in literature to describe books that are intended for readers between the ages of 12 and 18. These books are typically focused on the experiences of teenagers and young adults, and explore themes of identity, self-discovery, relationships, and coming of age.

Young adult books cover a wide range of genres, including realistic fiction, romance, dystopian, fantasy, science fiction, and more. They often deal with complex and nuanced issues such as mental health, social justice, and identity, and are written in a way that is accessible and engaging for young readers.
