Write Away Interviews, Resources, and Reviews
g, 16+ years

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.
