The best YA scifi and fantasy books for teens (of all time)
I’ve always been a fan of young adult books, even when I was studying my PhD in English literature I preferred the sweeping epic style of YA scifi and fantasy books to the tomes of the academic canon.

Classics:
- Bridge to Terabithia
- Harry Potter Series
- A Wrinkle in Time
- Lord of the Rings
- Narnia
