Today I wanted to recommend some classic books, based on popular favourite YA reads. I have either read these books or had them very strongly recommended and intend to read them at some point, knowing enough about them to accurately match them to a YA book! Happy reading!
Murder on the Orient Express is a classic murder mystery from the Queen of crime herself.
Passing by Nella Larsen is a unique look at race, which I think fans of Noughts and Crosses will love.
Maurice by E.M. Forster is masterpeice of queer literature, although much darker than Heartstopper, this remains a staple of queer culture and is a must read for any Heartstopper fan looking to find queer representation in classic literature.
Pride and Prejudice is one of the greatest love stories with loveable characters, much like Eleanor and Park.
George Orwell is dystopian fiction at it's finest.
