Prob webtoons/vertical strips in general, im suprised the ipad generation isn’t more into regular comics, maybe more ipods and handed down phones
They’re definitely for the younger side, but I remember the how to train your dragon books being pretty good. Almost completely different from the movies though
Tastes are more diverse than ever. A lot that I speak with read maga, one piece berserk and webcomics. All the YA classics Percy Jackson, hunger games, harry potter. Lots of classic lit, philosophy.
I recently read this is how you lose the time war and it was a beautiful book. The lady who co wrote it is an amazing writer. Her book the river has roots is also a wholesome little story.
Do they still read Redwall?
 Can you be more specific about the age?
Yeah, “young people” could be anywhere from picture books for pre-literate kids to middle-aged adults, based on missing context.
Mine really liked the warrior cats books and some Stephen King.
None, in many cases. (Including yours truly. I just read shorter form content like news articles and Lemmy)

Rick Riordan has been pretty popular lately.
Warrior Cats
The children in my life scroll a device and fight tooth and nail against reading anything.
Animorphs. Loved those books as a kid and revisited them as an adult, and forgot how dark they got. Child soldiers, war crimes, the horrors of losing yourself to the hive mind or being forced into the body of a small animal (not talking about Tobias here).
Plus the books are also about friendship, which many youths want to see more of than romance.
Definitely books that turned people into furries. They still write those??
While it wasn’t the tipping point for me, it definitely started the process

not talking about Tobias here
Yeah, let’s just gloss over that part, shall we? Great series, but damn does it get dark.
Iirc,

At one point, Jason’s entire family is Yeerks, and he knows it. I think his mom was a Visser. They try to infect him, but he manages to get rid of the Yeerk somehow. He goes back to live with his infected family and pretends to be infected too so he can spy on the Visser possessing his mom.
“How do you do, fellow yeerks.”
My kids liked the Warrior Cats series and Hearts of Fire, which is dragons.
Hey there, rad dude! Me and the other young people are totally into reading the Bible! Jesus is like mad chillin’, yo!
Geeze what’s with the savage downvotes lmao. I laughed. 😂
Reminde me of The Adventure Zone how Merl is always shoving his “X-Treme Teen Bible of Pan” at everyone he meets. XD
🤷🏻♂️ made me laugh.
