The teenage years can be a tricky time in the lives of young readers. During this stage in life, everything about your child is starting to change and they are starting to look for their place in the world. Here are some children’s books that are great for kids in this age group.
Harry Potter books are listed at the top of this series. They are among the most popular children’s books in the world, and while they start off for slightly younger readers, the series grows in intensity and meaning quite quickly. They are excellent coming-of-age stories, while the heroic nature of the plots helps boys and girls alike imagine a world where they, too, can be the hero.
Another popular selection on the list of children’s books for teenagers is the Twilight series. While these books are primarily love stories, they are excellent coming-of-age stories, particularly for young girls. The supernatural theme is enough to grab the attention of readers, and these children’s books have gotten many people (adults included!) interested in reading.
The Outsiders, which is a classic novel, is also a great children’s book for teenagers. This book is incredibly powerful and takes readers on a young man’s search for his place in the world. Forty years after it was written, it is still as remarkable as ever.
Children’s books for young adults should have a lesson to teach, or offer sympathy with changes that occur during this time in life. These books are all great choices.
