Top Ten YA Books To Lend Your Mama

When your mum asks to read books from your YA collection, which ones can you safely give her?

Must be a Clean Read (ie no sex because parents don’t have sex, everyone knows that);
the worldbuilding cannot be overly complicated (because she has a hard enough time remembering how to work the blu-ray player); and
it has to be original enough that she can remember at least the main character’s name (otherwise how else will you be able to discuss it with her?)

My picks from my personal collection are:

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by JK Rowling
Preloved by Shirley Marr
Inside Out/Outside In by Maria V Snyder
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Divergent by Veronica Roth
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
Sabriel by Garth Nix
Storm Siren by Mary Weber
Entwined by Heather Dixon
