Young adult fiction is in its prime right now, with books seemingly intended for teenagers being loved by readers of all ages. They have created characters and ideas that have become commonplace in our pop-culture discourse, such as Katniss Everdeen and Harry Potter, and they have also encouraged some of our best writers to write in the genre. TIME conducted this survey in collaboration with esteemed colleagues, including U.S. Children's Poet Laureate Kenn Nesbitt, children's book historian Leonard Marcus, the National Centre for Children's Illustrated Literature, the Young Readers Centre at the Library of Congress, the Every Child a Reader literacy foundation, and ten independent booksellers, to identify the best books for young adults and children.
