Teen Books from 2019
Last updated: January 28, 2025
Even though fewer teens are reading for fun, one of the best ways to engage them is with a great book -- especially one that is relevant to their interests and experiences. These YA books from 2019 are new enough that teens will still want to read them, but old enough that you can actually find them in paperback or avoid having to get on a waitlist to borrow them from the library. With fantasy gems, diverse voices, and touching coming-of-age stories, 2019 was a great year for teen books. For the teen picks that are hot off the presses, check out New Teen Books 2020.
