Amazon Editor's Best Teen & Young Adult Books of 2025

Many Young Adult novels are loved by readers far beyond age 18, particularly when it comes to the fantasy genre, and this year has been a bumper crop of titles for teen and adult readers of YA.

Suzanne Collins’ Sunrise on the Reaping holds the top spot for the Best Young Adult Books of 2025. Though it published in the spring, this blockbuster didn’t lose its shine these past months and remained our number one favorite. You’ll also find a moving and illuminating graphic novel memoir, a fantastic fantasy retelling of a Greek myth for fans of Lore and Circe, a suspenseful new thriller from the best-selling author of Firekeeper’s Daughter, and more. See the complete top 20 list here, and don’t miss the rest of the Amazon Editors’ Best Books of 2025.
