In August 2021, Time Magazine, with the help of a panel of leading YA authors, released an updated list of The 100 Best YA Books of All Time. The list includes classic and modern novels that help young people understand themselves and feel less alone as they form views of themselves and the world.
Among the great books on the list is Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Megan McCluskey writes about Anne of Green Gables saying, "Set in the idyllic fictional town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada, Anne of Green Gables is both a love letter to Montgomery’s home province and a classic coming-of-age story that captures the joys and sorrows of growing up in equal measure."
Along with Anne of Green Gables, the list includes A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. by Judy Blume, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon, and The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, and as well as many other stories for young adult (and older) readers to enjoy.
