Addicted to YA discussion

Hi I’m trying to bridge the gap between middle grade and YA I loved Percy Jackson and all the books by Rick. The Harry Potter books and the Artemis fowl and rangers apprentice books. Recently I have read the hunger games, the Skyward series by Branden Sanderson and the Renegades by Marissa Meyer . I would love a No Cussing low violence
No spice book recommendations,
Thank you

Have you tried Disruption and Corruption by Jessica Shirvington?


There's also the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi (it has a fade to black scene).

There's Dissonance and Resonance by Erica O'Rourke

You could try Integrate by Adele Jones.

You could also try one of my books, like The Verindon Alliance.

Thank you I put all of them on my reading list but my library only had Dissonance

Also your books look wonderful

At one point we had a copy of (Once Confronted ) but it was borrowed over a year ago and has not been returned 😢

Oh dear!

You could try Divergent, The Maze Runner, The Giver, and The Declaration by Gemma Malley (the second book gets dark so maybe just read the first.)

Divergent and The Maze Runner do have violence. I am not sure how much you are okay with, but I would look into them before reading them!

Good point. I think The Declaration probably has some too. I was using Hunger Games as a baseline :)

I recommend the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter! I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You

I loved the giver and I haven’t heard of the declaration or Id tell you I love you But then I’d have to kill you so I’ll look them up

I have started the maze runner and have enjoyed it

I tried reading Divergent but it was not my favorite

Hi! Have you tried Keepers of the lost cities (KOTLC) by Shannon Messenger? It’s a good middle ground, kinda similar to Harry Potter.

i love Maze runner I need to say it

Shatter me series?

rick is also releasing more percy jackson books!

Funny you should suggest KOTLC I played Diana in a production of Anne of green gables and Read the first two books during tech week .I really enjoyed it, but the love triangle got on my last nerve sometimes. ( Ps I would have picked Dex)

I read Furthermore by the same author Tahereh Mafi and didn’t really like it.

Gregor the Overlander and the Hunger Games are by Suzanne Collins and are written very differently so maybe I will try the shatter me series

Shadow and Bone books are a really good starting point into YA fantasy.
The Guilded Ones is really good as well, the only thing is it might be a bit gory.
I would read more books by Merissa Meyer, the Lunar Chronicles are especially good.

Hope that helps :)

Maybe you'd like Cemetery Boys and The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas!

I liked them, but the second book is quite disturbing in places, although technically YA. The first book was tamer from memory.

Thanks

If you liked Marissa Meyers, you should check out her Cinder series! They're great
