Blog trends in current or forthcoming teen fiction on listed websites.
Harlequin - Zombies and paranormal galore!
Harper Collins - Fairy tale stories retold! (i.e. Snow White and Cinderella)
Little, Brown Books - Post apocalyptic and dystopia!
Teens/Penguin Young Readers - Author Marie Lu's newest book in the Young Elites series will released on 10/13/2015.
I recently read a short YA article written by blogger Lisa Parkin. In the article, Parkin noted four trends emerging in YA books in 2015:
1. Crimes and Cons - characters on the wrong side of the law.
2. Retellings - fairy tales and classic literary stories.
3. Quirky & moving - i.e. Mosquitoland by David Arnold, The Trouble with Destiny by Lauren Morrill.)
4. Dealing with Loss - next generation of 'sick lit' but with characters left behind & dealing with loss.
