Next up on our top of the year list is YA fiction. This is a very challenging category where authors have to hold the attention of both teens and adults alike. There are plenty of choices available, but only a few can make the cut!
- 1. The Triumphant by Lesley Livingston
We have loved this series since the first book came out. The female gladiators are strong, resilient and determined in every challenge they face. This is the perfect series for young girls looking for strong female leads that face the odds and learn from their mistakes and adversaries to come out on top.
