Monique Polak
A Holocaust novel centred on a teenager confronting camp life and her father’s involvement in Nazi propaganda. It also follows her thoughts about friendship, romance, family and religion.
Dan Smith
Expect a tense wartime adventure centred on a boy whose loyalty is unsettled by family revelations and encounters with Nazi brutality. Its main appeal is the combination of suspense, historical setting and moral awakening rather than light-hearted adventure.
Suzanne Collins
This is a bleak, emotionally charged dystopian novel: survival, loyalty and resistance unfold amid child combatants, grief and tightly controlled public narratives. Its literary symbolism and political ideas sit alongside substantial graphic violence.
Kalynn Bayron
A feminist and LGBTQ retelling in which Sophia challenges a kingdom built around compulsory marriage and rigid social control. It offers a brisk adventure, romance and resistance, while drawing on real-world patterns of misogyny, homophobia and authoritarian rule.
Geraldine McCaughrean
A tense political-disaster adventure about a servant suddenly given public power, with shifting accounts of events and difficult choices about trust, responsibility and survival.
Morton Rhue
This is a school-set novel about how a group experiment changes relationships, authority and public debate. Its central interest is the tension between belonging and independent judgement, with the school newspaper representing a challenge to growing conformity.
Kate Dylan
This is a high-stakes, fast-moving dystopian story about a young operative questioning the corporation that trained her. It offers action, twists, espionage, romance and ethical questions about mental control, technology, consent and the meaning of a short life.
Moira Buffini
This offers an engrossing, multi-viewpoint dystopian adventure, with telepathy, wartime politics, secret identities and dramatic reversals. Its strongest appeal appears to be the combination of tense plotting and questions about belonging, tolerance and social control.
Gloria Whelan
Marya and Georgi set out alone after their parents are arrested and separated. Their route towards Siberia brings danger, uncertainty and encounters with people who may help, while Marya’s narration follows the strain of caring for her younger brother.
