ReayDoes anyone have any suggestions for books for a young teen who likes (modern/urban/bit of classic) fantasy (Lord of the Rings movies — books were too verbose and old timey, Fairy Tale by Stephen King), science fiction and/or same with some fantasy mixed in (Star Wars, bit of Star Trek, lighter Dr. Who, will almost certainly enjoy @scalzi books soon) real science (Hidden Figures, chemistry demonstrations on videos are big right now), superheroes (Marvel movies are big), with moving (but not sad) and/or funny aspects being wide open, and a dash of coming of age stories be they LGBTQ or otherwise (Heartstopper)?
Not all in one book, I can’t imagine — that would be one hell of a winding tale — but anything with an element or two or three of those things included would be great.
Looking for a present for this year’s Jolabokaflod — https://www.reayjespersen.com/blog-1/2021/12/24/happy-jolabokaflod/ — and normally we’ve had some solid ideas for books or series that the kiddo wants, but tastes are changing plus the teenagerism angle is making the options more obscure and I have zero doubt there’s plenty out there none of us have heard about or would know to hunt down.
Thanks!
