By Kat La Mantia | April 19 2022 | GeneralGraphic NovelsYoung Adult

Written for readers 12-18, YA is one of the most creative categories in literature, blending the fantasy elements of children’s stories with the emerging adult themes of the life of a teenager. In graphic novels, there’s a wide range of YA titles available, ranging from non-fiction guides to bodies and relationships to real-world coming-of-age stories to supernatural romances and sci-fi adventures. With characters from a variety of cultural backgrounds, sexualities, and genders, there’s something here for any teen looking for their next book.
