I have loved teen books since forever. My favorite ya authors now are: Amanda Hocking, Meg Cabot, JK Rowling, Suzanne Collins, and some older ones are: RL Stine, Christopher Pike, Richie Tankersley Cussick, LJ Smith and I’m sure there are a bunch of others. I was also a huge fan of LM Montgomery and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. There’s just so many amazing young adult books out there that have definitely influenced my life. Let’s see there’s also The Changeover by Margaret Mahy and wow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Rohald Dahl. Maybe some of these cross genres, but all great reads.
