Speculative fiction—fantasy, science fiction, and paranormal fiction—is one of the hottest publishing trends today and a major area on teen reading interest. Understanding these genres is key to motivating teen readers and helping them find books they enjoy. This guide organizes by genre, subgenre, and theme hundreds of titles, mostly published within the last decade, along with classic works and benchmark titles that are commonly available in libraries and popular with teen readers. Focusing on young adult literature (books specifically written for readers in grades 6–12), it will also contain some children’s literature and adult novels popular with young adults.
