Question by Evie: What do people like to read in teen novels?
I have my characters and my setting but I was wondering what things people actually find engaging in teen novels. And if you even mention vampires or werewolves, I’ll shoot your parents.

Best answer:

Answer by Alishia
In teen you mean young adult novels, I like to read mystery, suspense, romance, and gothic horror. I agree with you I don’t like vampire and werewolf crap I hate twilight, maybe I’d only watch it because taylor Lauther is spool hot! Well anyways yeah some of my fav books are the luxe series, uglies series, elsewhere and rebecca.

I like mystery, romance, fantasy, and angst in the young adult novels I read. I also like supernatural elements like magic and superpowers, as well as dystopian societies (LOVE THEM) I especially love the gone series by michael grant, harry potter series, divergent by veronica roth, hex hall by rachel hawkins, and the hunger games by suzanne collins. I read mostly fantasy-ish books because I’m writing a fantasy novel of my own

A doomed love life and restrictions that makes the reader able to connect with as teenager want to feel as if they can connect with the character!

read a few teen novels that should help, but i would probably say books that are emotionally packed is what encourages them to read that book
examples (without vampires and werewolves)
1.any of L’Engle’s books, they are ranged from children to adult
2.the mortal instruments/infernal devices by clare
3. can’t mention percy jackson for some greek vamps and wolves, but kane chronicles still works
4.dan brown’s works are more focused on the adult but i still consider them for teens

I like a teen novel that really makes me think and has a real impact on me for days afterwards. I like teen novels that are about real things that I can relate to.

Additionally, no more dystopian novels please!!!

Just because vampires and werewolves have become a trend, doesn’t mean you can’t do something different with it. Don’t rule it out, publishers are more likely to publish books that fit the current popular trend.

Anyway.

In a teen novel, I’d want to read something I can relate to. The main character has to be flawed and have someone she can confide in, like a best friend or a boyfriend. Even a parent.

Comedy is quite popular nowadays, especially chick literature. Check out books by Sophie Kinsella, very popular.
