Books recommended for older teenage and young adults, which may contain explicit material or deal with subjects that require emotional maturity.

Note: Write Away does not advocate age banding of books. These categories are intended to help parents, teachers and librarians locate books but we also advise extending your search to include books that have been included in older and younger age categories. We also recognise that many books defy easy classification and so the same book will frequently appear in more than one age category.

Hammond saw action in Kurdistan where seven men died under his command. It wasn’t his fault and his actions were exonerated at the Inquest.

Out of the Way! Socialism's Coming Out of the Way! Socialism's Coming

In this parallel Turkish-English text are three hilarious, satirical short stories translated by Damian Croft. These take the mickey out of bureaucracy and political ideology and hypocrisy. The first, a comic fable, shows how the gullible narrator is conned by two unscrupulous crooks. They persuade him to join them in their scam to fleece local business men into paying them to keep the threat o ...

Shrimp Shrimp

Shrimp is certainly a novel for a post- Sex in the City and Dawson’s Creek generation. With more in common with The OC than real life, it is still a refreshing presentation of young adults and the period of transition into full-blown independence. Cohn wrote Shrimp in response to fans’ questions about what happened next to the he ...

Sweet Sweet

This sequel to Sugar Rush continues the story of Maria Sweet, aka Sugar, whose spicy life, if we are to continue the analogy, is amazingly imagined by Julie Burchill. There is no doubting Burchill's skill at creating a plausible character who, surprisingly, can be endearing despite a fairly awful set of circumstances, including the inability for a variety of reasons to bring up her toddler ...
