All the world's a stage — YA set in the theatre world
There is nothing I love more than a book set inside the world of the theatre. Backstage shenanigans, identity crises, overblown egos, stories within stories, and the long hours characters are forced to spend together create highly combustible, and often hilarious, scenarios.
Recently it seems that young adult fiction is brimming with titles focused around school or university theatre or musical productions, community theatre, or even big Broadway dreams. And why not, because when you’re young and dramatically inclined, all…

Old But Gold - Classic YA that deserves a revisit
Some books are just classic. Movies are made of them and thousands of words are written about them. They have weaved their way into popular culture so fully that it seems as if they have always been there. But the following books are classics for good reason. Their authors are masters at their craft, who hook you in, demand you keep reading, and don’t let you go until they toss you out at the end, forever changed.

Here are some of our favourite contemporary YA stories and the classic teen novels that inspired them:
