The world of young adult fantasy books is filled with wizards, clones and alternate universes. In recent years, this particular genre for teenagers has grown enormously in popularity among kids looking for enthralling literature that contains adventure and romance.
The "Harry Potter" series by J. K. Rowling is king of the genre. Teenagers enjoy these books tremendously as they feature a boy wizard who fights against the evil Lord Voldermort. Harry is a schoolboy at the Hogwarts school of magic who must defend himself and his friends against the constant presence of opposing forces.

Things get complicated when a werewolf named Jacob, who has an inherent hatred of vampires, also vies for the love of Bella.
While these books represent the best selling works of the genre, there are other notable tales as well for teen readers. Among the most noteworthy of these is Lois Lowry's "The Giver". A boy named Jonas lives in what should be the perfect society where pain and suffering do not exist. The realization that this world is not all that seems becomes apparent to Jonas when he is assigned the role of receiving all the world's memories from the society's "giver".
