Books for "Young Adults"


Recommended Posts

We have a wealth of excellent literature for children and young adults in Britain.

What are French speaking 12 to 18 year olds reading in France? I don't mean of the Buffy/Point Horror/Sweet Valley High/Babysitter variety - I mean are there any Philippe Poulmains or Malorie Noirhommes in France or do teenagers just read either trash or translations from English? Or possibly just BDs. The books my daughters 17 year old penfriend have read appear to be British books in translation.

Discussing "the last book I read" in class yesterday, the first two answers were a Jules Verne and Hamlet (in French)
Things like Buffy and Goosebumps are very popular and most of my pupils have read the Harry Potters. A lot of young French people read BD or mangas.

A friend writes books for young teenagers but his own children's favourite books are the Philip Pullmans, the Baudelaire orphans and Buffy.
