The Best Books of 2015

Every year new books come out onto the stands to wow us as readers. Here are the ones that I, and others, rank as the best of 2015. (Note: I stuck to young adult novels for this lists).

1. Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs: This story tells the tale of an eighteen year old girl who spends her year at a camp for gifted students. She struggles to make friends, while trying to heal from her grandmother’s recent death.

2. The Devil’s Intern by Donna Hosie: Mitchell interns for the devil. He thinks he may have found a way out of Hell though.

3. Free to Fall by Lauren Miller: Rory has just been accepted to a very distinguished academy. That’s easily overshadowed as she discovers a biotech conspiracy that could change the whole world as she knows it.

4. Into the Grey by Celine Kiernan: Patrick’s family moves into a new house in Ireland. While there the family discovers the home is haunted, and a spirit has possessed Patrick’s twin brother.

5. A mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs: This story is set in 1909 England. The book follows Victoria as she struggles to figure out how much she is willing to give up to follow her dreams of artistry.

6. Threatened by Eliot Schrefer: Luc is hired by a professor to help research chimpanzees. When the professor disappears, Luc is left to fend for himself in the unforgiving jungle.

7. The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski: Kestrel is a general’s daughter, and has been trained to be a very talented strategist. It also brings along quite a few problems and consequences.

8. We are all Made of Molecules by Susin Nielsen: This book talks about teenagers Stewart and Ashley and how the only thing they have in common is their parents are in love. Ashley is the cool one, while Stewart is considered a freak. This book has a lot of humor, with quotes like “Yes, he really said plethora… What kid says plethora? And what does plethora even mean?” But also a lot of heart.

9. Death House by Sarah Pinborough: This story follows a group of teens who are kept on an island by nurses, teachers, and a strict Matron. The author’s writing style is one that makes sure that readers feel as though they feel, all of what the characters feel.

10. More Happy Than not by Adam Silvera: Aaron is struggling with

his disappointed father’s death and his attraction to the same

sex. He’s drawn to an operation that could suppress his

memory, due to the fact that it could take away all his worries

all his pain from the past. The procedure isn’t all that simple

though.
