Young Adult stories are stories that are often where the protagonists are coming-of-age, still dealing with school or part-time jobs, parents are significant in their lives, etc. The themes are often coming-of-age, finding suitable mentors (and avoiding villanous mentors), new love, etc.
I'd suggest:
The City Of Ember
Akata Witch
The Hate U Give
The Sun Is Also A Star
There's also the ones most people know: Silverwing (more children's literature), Harry Potter, Holes...
Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin
One of the best works of fiction I've read as a child and still re-read today.
Harry Potter is probably the most famous example of YA.
Good Reads have a whole section for it: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/young-adult
What are Young Adult stories? Anyone have any examples? I am genuinely curious.
