Teen/YA Fiction: These are fiction books centered around adolescents and young adults, roughly ages 13 to 18.
Fiction is the telling of stories that are not real. More specifically, fiction is an imaginative form of narrative, one of the four basic rhetorical modes. Works of fiction need not be entirely imaginary and may include real people, places, and events.
Themes in YA stories often focus on the challenges of youth, so much so that the entire age category is sometimes referred to as problem novels or coming of age novels.
