There comes a point in a young life when the time is right to move on from the books and children’s authors they enjoyed as a child to reading books and authors that offer greater challenges as they grow up into adulthood. The books in this 14+ category are exactly that. They bridge that gap to introduce you and your child to adult authors who also write for a teenage / young adult audience.

You could also check out our latest highlights such as 'new voices', which showcases some of the brightest new talent from the prestigious publisher Walker Books, our 'prizewinners' section where we can help you and your child discover authors currently in contention for and/or winners of the most prestigious awards or indeed via our 'books of the year 2008' where you will find the golden nuggets of the last year.  Has your teenager read them all?

And finally, if you want to get your chidren choosing their own books then our special category on our sister site Lovereading called 'new gen' is the perfect place to start.
