Best Indie Young Adult Buzz Books

For the Discriminating Teen Reader
The Indies Choice Book Award nominees, chosen by the owners and staff of all American Booksellers Association bookstores, include the following Young Adult titles. Sci-fi and fantasy books are heavy-hitters this year but all nominees provide more than a little something special to teen readers. Moreover, if you have seen these books just about everywhere (on must-read lists, online, in bookstores and in libraries) it's probably because they're buzz-worthy. Read for yourself...
