Hey YA Readers!
Let’s catch up on the latest in this week’s YA news and new books. Spring is in the air here and I know how much I’m itching to grab a book and read outside.
YA Book News
- Gary Ross, director of the first Hunger Games film, reflects on its tenth anniversary.
- A Judy Blume documentary is coming to Netflix.
- Harlan Coben’s YA thriller Shelter will be getting an adaptation.
- Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous has been optioned for adaptation. This was a fun read.
New YA Books
Please note that with supply chain issues, paper supply challenges, and the pandemic more broadly, publication dates are changing at a pace I can’t keep up with. Some release dates may be pushed back. If a book catches your attention, the smartest thing to do right now is to preorder it or request it from your library. It’ll be a fun surprise when it arrives.
