There comes a point in a young life when the time is right to move on from the books and children’s authors you’ve enjoyed as a child to reading books and authors that offer greater challenges as you grow up into adulthood. ‘New Gen’ is here to bridge that gap to introduce you to adult authors and also those children’s authors who also write for a teenage / young adult audience.

Here you’ll find writers like Melvin Burgess and Kevin Brooks, whose addictive stories are woven around real issues, stuff you might have encountered in the real world. What makes them unique is that the lead characters tend to be teenagers too, making them easy to identify with.

And what makes Lovereading.co.uk the best place to find books?

You can download a free Opening Extract of each book, usually about the first chapter. Read it on your screen, or print it off and enjoy anywhere. We give you enough of a book to see whether it’s your sort of thing.

The Wishlist feature is great if it's your birthday or Christmas coming up. Make an online list of books you'd like to read and email Mum, Dad or generous relatives with credit cards.

Try the Author Like-for-Like tool when you've finished all the books by one author you love, and don't know what to read next. Just type in a favourite writer's name, and we'll suggest others, equally brilliant and with a similar style.

It's all completely free. All we need from you is an email address and password. But don't worry; we don't go passing on your contact details to anyone else.

So if you’re 14+, and want to find out a few things about the wild world you’re growing up in, try these!
