Top 10 Best Book Series for Teens

I COULD GO ON FOR WEEKS, NONSTOP, TALKING ABOUT WHY HARRY POTTER IS THE BEST BOOK FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME. I've read the each book multiple dozens of times, in awe, like the first time I read them. But I'll just briefly summarize my thoughts.
Firstly, this is easily the most creative and imaginative series of all time. The setting was based on personal life story, making it even more connecting to you. Every location in this book just takes you away from reality. Secondly, the characters are very raw and relatable. I could relate so much to Hermione Granger, because when I first read the books in Elementary School, I was pretty much exactly like Hermione, known as the buck-toothed, annoying smarty-pants, and I still am today, except now I'm more like a fifth-year Hermione. I've also recently started to relate to Luna Lovegood. Her empathy and emotional intelligence is a vital part of her character, as she symbolizes turning trauma to hope, and helped many conquer bullies. Every ...more

My favourite book series. <3
It's incredible and re-reading the series remains a great experience! It's a perfect series being relatable, magical and exciting.
Thank you, JK Rowling for the series.

Makes sense this is number one, never seen such an imaginative and well-executed series, such an amazing escape from reality.

Honestly, books are NOT my thing... But when I started reading Harry Potter out of boredom I couldn't stop reading it! I always used to sneakily read it during class and boring history lectures. It absolutely takes me into a different world and gets me imagining all sorts of things! Now I'm really sad the whole series ended and I already read the whole thing... But what the hell? I'm reading it again! BEST BOOK EVER! Love you miss Rowling!

It's not my favroite series, but it's pretty dam close! I love this series! It is so original and interesting! It has such amazing characters and the time frame is so specific, it makes it all the more entertaining! Who doesn't love Percy Jackson?

Bringing mythology to the modern world was a lot more interesting to read about than I thought. I was hesitant to begin this series but glad I did. Percy has an amazing way of narrating and is also very humorous. I loved the fights as well and how he never backed down, even when the situation seemed impossible. Annabeth was also a fun character to read about and I wish there was more Grover in this series! Thank goodness there was another series following this one because I needed more Percy to read!

I was always into Greek Mythology, even before I started reading the series. Percy Jackson is my favorite book series EVER, even beating Harry Potter for my, which is HUGE. It helped me learn a lot of Mythology while keeping me hooked and reading one after another in two days, which actually isn't long at all to me. It's just my favorite series ever, and I was crying when it was over. Thank goodness for Heroes of Olympus!

This was the book series that really got me into reading. It has totally relatable characters, lots of humor and sass, and such an amazing plot! Also, I learned more from it than any class on mythology that I've ever taken- and I enjoyed it a whole lot more too.

The Hunger Games is awesome. Also a lot of the characters that died didn't deserve to die. Like Prim, Rue, Thresh, Madge, Cinna, President Coin (no just kidding), and Foxface to name a few. Anyway the Hunger Games is an amazing series full of action and a great plot. One thing, though: the romance is really tacky.

I think the Hunger games is the best series of all time! I have read so many books but none of them stick to me as the hunger games did. It had so many different idea's in one book it is my Favourite book series! I strongly regimen this series. Huger games is by far the best book EVER!

Mindblowing! An incredibly emotional story of brutal murder and life over humanity. With twists around every page forcing you to re-read everything you just read. A must read for anyone with a heart, a heart that will be ripped to pieces at every chapter.

Okay, as much as I love The Hunger Games, it's a little overrated. You guys should read Gregor The Overlander, another book series written by Suzanne Collins. I think love it more than The Hungers Games. It's incredible

Better than Trials of Apollo (which isn't saying much) but far worse than the original. The plot is uncoordinated, a lot of things in the originals are modified or changed, like Annabeth. The original Annabeth was AMAZING and my favourite character. In arc 2, an an imposter has taken over.

This should so be higher up. If you saw the all caps explosion of fangirl above. That was me. These are perhaps even better than the original books. They are filled with great lovable characters who had great lovable flaws. They go through a lot and develop and change and live and die (maybe possibly, no spoilers here! ) together. They seven main characters include characters from the old books and some new ones as well. There is rarely a dull moment and are ABSOLUTELY worth the read.

This should be up with the original Percy Jackson series. I love both series with all of my heart and each one of the characters is SO unique and amazing in their own ways. I'd recommend the books to ANYONE. If you haven't read them, do it. You won't regret it.

Look I mean I'm nine, but seriously, if you don't read these books, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Or read Percy Jackson first, then Heroes of Olympus, then Trials of Apollo, then Kane Chronicles, then Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. Rick Riordan is the best with no doubt and you'll love the heroes: Leo, Piper, Jason, Annabeth, Percy, Hazel and Frank. READ IT! I really encourage you to vote for this.
Plus, it's WAY BETTER than that horrible Harry Potter stuff

Beats all the book series all the way, yes, including Harry Potter. I'm avid reader since the age of 6 and I've read hundreds of books and all I can say is that, no books ever could best LOTR. I read Harry Potter when I was 16 and Lord of the Rings when I was 17, and I have to start telling people off for liking Harry Potter more after I finished reading both of the series. Yeah, Harry Potter is too a good series, no deny, but LOTR is just so awesome that... That it is indescribable in words, you know? Those beautifully written characters, suspension story and exciting adventures of Frodo keeps you going all the way! And may I demand, why is LoTR ranked 5? And Darren Shan series third and fourth? Must be the crazy fans... Percy Jackson is a great series too, guys. Percy is full of humor but he's a little dumb sometimes. Darren Shan books are like sleeping pills; I feel asleep reading them (no offense guys) because they're boring. Seriously no offense. Anyway, LoTR is the best series ...more

Greatly executed series, flawless. Tolkien created a book before it's time. Although I recommend it to those who have a higher reading level. I personally believe it should be #1.

I love the Lord of the Rings books , I am a huge Lord of the Rings number one fan . I hoping to get other two books in the series for my birthday and I cannot wait to read them !

How the hell is this book #8. LOTR is a book that will be on shelves forever in my opinion. The book series has funny characters like Pippin and Merry and yet has a serious plot that isn't laughed about. This book is #1.

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis are wonderful books to read and I love them all including Horse and his Boy and the Lion , the witch and the wardrobe and the Magican's nephew . I really love these Books very much .

I have loved these since I learned to read. Even though the series is great for teens; it is also great for just about any age.

Ok, I haven't read the entire series, only bits and pieces, but the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is amazing!

Had it as my class novel at primary it was so good and classic and cheesy.

Go Greg, go! You are the awesome protagonist of my favourite book series which is ranked here on number...13?!? This low?!?

I like format of this books, there's drawing and paper inside this book is great and I like type of written...

Like, DUH! Its really popular, and who doesn't know about these books?

A hilarious and relatable series.

This series was not afraid to do things differently, throw in a curve ball here and there. I am an avid reader so I don't cry when reading, but this one did. It made me cry and hurt and I couldn't put it down.

Amazing, this book had me hooked from the start and had me reading the rest nonstop. This was a compelling story of love compassion and the true meaning of bravery.

This book series is Amazing! It is clearly the best. You will surly be disapointed when it ends. I want to read them over again. Veronica Roth dud a fantastic job. This should without a doubt be at the top of the list!

Why isn't this in the top ten? This series is amazing! It'll make you cry, laugh, think, and act. It is so compelling and gorgeous. It'll blow you away! It can change you.

This is the series of books that really got me hooked to reading! I got the first book as a Christmas present and was immediately hooked. By February, I had and read all of this series. This series of books is one of my favorites and I can honestly say I have read it about 5 times and can quote it! Because of this series, I have brought all of Mr. Shan's books and he has a section, a very large one I might add, on my book shelf! He is my favorite author and I have had the pleasure to meet him! I have to read this series again! It's full of action and very emotional and because of my excessive talking of these books, my friends know everything about them though they haven't read them! Love it so much!

This was the series that made me start reading. I am dyslexic and so found it difficult to read but since stumbled upon these books I haven't stopped. I have read everything Darren has written and I have to say these books are his best work. They have deep characters and an awesome plot, with great twists. The thing I like about this series is how easy it is to pick up and read; it has no over complicated plot and it is really easy to follow. Furthermore, the characters are believable, making you either cheer for them or hate them. There was also a few times when a tear was brought to my eye. I would recommend this series to anyone of any age.

I absolutely love the Saga of Darren Shan because it was the first ever horror series I read in my life and after reading it I have gotten so gripped with his books that I just can't get enough of them. All the series that he has wrote are amazing and mind blowing. So if you are ever bored with life just grab a Darren Shan book and you will enter an astonishing realm of all things demonic and dark. The Saga of Darren Shan is jaw dropping and will suck you into the world of Vampires. My favourite quote from the series is " Even In Death May You Be Triumphant ". Finally I would like to say a MASSIVE thanks to Darren Shan for being an awesome author

This is an amazing series really my all time favorite! I think I've read it about 3 times (or more), once you start you just can't stop reading! And every single book keeps amazing you! Really awesome about this series in particular is that once you've finished it you can also read the Larten Crepsley Saga which is a series happening before the original series which clears up all the loose ends and really just extends the series with 4 books which is always good! I'd really recommend this saga! Really, read it!

I absolutely ADORE this series! I just finished City of Fallen Angels (Book 4) and I am literally counting down the minutes until I can go get book 5. I have to say that my favorite series are Rick Riordan's books but this series is AMAZING and seriously deserved to be a lot higher.

I am obsessed with books. I have literally read all the books on this list plus more and this series seemed like the best. I started reading it and literally finished the series in a week. I know, nothing is better than Harry Potter but seriously...

I prefer Harry Potter definitely but these are my second favourite books I adore them and I'm obsessed with them! The characters and the plot and the whole world are so great they should be higher

Love this series! It will keep on the edge till the very end... Now I truly understand the meaning of "can't to stay away"... Why isn't this in the top 3?!?!? 5 STARS!

I have to say, Brandon Mull easily became one of my favorite YA authors. I originally got his book, "The Candy Shop Wars", for a road trip with my two boys (6 and 8 at the time). We fell in love with the story and the sense of adventure that pulled us into the story and left us invested in the various characters. So for the next trip the boys requested more by Brandon Mull. that is when I found Fablehaven. Wow! The story was absolutely amazing, and had my husband and me on the edge of our seats as much as both the boys. The whole family binge listened to this series, and the boys have both listened to it at least twice more each in the last couple years. This series helped develop my kids love for books, adventures, and reading.

If you haven't read this series you need to stop reading and go NOW!

OK I see you need a little more convincing okay so first of all if you don't know who Brandon Mull is, he is a really creative author and writes many good series. I'm 13 and I read lots of series and Fablehaven is one of my most favorite series tied with, The Lunar Chronicles and the Percy Jackson/Hero of Olympus series.
This is one of my first series and it made me stay up at 3am in the morning just to finish one of the books and I've read it a couple hundred times but yeah its totally worth it! It kept me on edge every page and the story isn't slowpaced which is a big problem in most series I've read. I've suggested my whole lunch table to read this book and we are all really big fans of this series and the other series listed above. (we have like really big debates on which of them is better but yeah) I would rate this a 100 star if possible.

HAPPY READING!

My older sister is still obsessed with this series, and she's a sophomore! She won't even let me look at her books.

This isn't my favorite series by Brandon Mull but its very good.

literally, the best book series ever I don't know why it's not in the top 2 way better than harry potter the best series should be 1. Twilight 2. hunger games 3. divergent 4. Percy Jackson
BAM

The twilight Series from Stephenie Meyer are a must read My favorite book in the series is New Moon and I am team Jacob all the way through the book Series , Because Taylor Launter is so handsome , so adorable and has awesome good looks .

Best novel series of all time, so low in the list because those poor potter fans feel insecure.

A fantastic and addicting series for those who love a good romance thriller.

In my opinion this series should be way higher! I love the books because there is so many details and it's really exiting. I started reading the first book in the first series (Into the wild) and I thought I weren't going to read any more of the books...but hey..I'm at series 4 :) Some people may think "It's for kids!" or "It's about literal cats!" but it's way more than that. Honestly the deaths in the series are pretty cruel so I don't think this book fits for like a 9 year old...But anyway! I love the design and the cats themselves. It's really creative and I just can't stop reading it. It's always something exiting happening and I can't put away the book. Like when Bluestar attacked the dogs and when Hollyleaf told everyone about Leafpool's secret. It's like I can feel what they feel. I understand and feel Jayfeather, I laugh with Graystripe and I feel Dovewing's stress when she finds out she's The one. Everything about warrior cats I love and it's honestly a little underrated. ...more

This book is really deep. It not only is interesting, but is political, emotional, and has very well developed characters! It touches on evolution of the clans throughout the series, and so many other interesting ideas! Many of my friends are like "it written for younger kids" or "its about CATS" but hey - don't let the species barrier mask the awesomeness ! Look at animal farm by George Orwell, there's a whole lot of symbolism in that, and the main character is a pig! I've seen so many themes in this novel like the idea of finding purpose in Tallstar's Revenge, and just the whole thing about self loyalty vs clan loyalty...ect. Also the characters are so loveable - even the ones I hate, I admit, I'll miss them! This series fuels your sense of adventure, challenges your mind, and plays with your heart over...and over...

Warriors is an amazing series with many great plots. For one, the characters are all very well developed. Second of all, the overall story line is so creative and well developed. And the books are for, well, almost all ages! It is one of the longest series that I have ever read, which brings up another point: it is enjoyed by many people. It would have to be, or else the Hunters would have stopped writing at book five. Also, the quotes and words of these books are so true and can by applied to anything.
Finally, the authors' voice is strong and suspenseful, which enraptures and enganges the read and almost makes me (at least! ) feel like I am fighting beside Ivypool, laughing with Graystripe and feeling Briarlight's sadness as she was parelized from her hind legs down. This series can be applied to any time period from 2000 up and it is one of the best series I have ever read. I don't only read Warriors, I now live in a different world, a world of Warriors.

My sister and I are both obsessed with this series. The plot twists are insane! I'll admit it get a little duller as the series goes on, but I'll never stop loving Warriors. I have honestly lost track of how many Warriors books there, are, there are SO MANY. At LEAST 40, and that's not including the guides and super editions!

I got the first book when I was in a mental hospital. And I was hooked. I only laid it down, when I had to go to therapy and ordered the next books to be sent straight to the hospital. The story is just wonderful! After the German ones were done (they didn't translate them all) I straight without any hesitation bought the following books in English. Kernel is so much like me and Grubbs... Man, don't get me started on book 8! Darren Shan is an awesome Writer! I started to listen to the audiobooks and because I know what will happen, I start to cry before anything ever really happens! Those book have really caught me and will probably never release me again! ;D

One of the only books that have ever made me cry was in this series, which just goes to show how well Darren Shan can write. By the end of the series you have a strong emotional attachment to the charecters, and he knows how to write in suspense and how to knock the reader on their backside with twists and turns. He has done things that the likes of J.K. rowling would be proud of. Truly an amazing series.

This series got me truly hooked on books, Darren is also the only author I can read over and over again without getting bored. The feels in this book were ridiculous and as I read them again at an older age they are the books that got me into writing myself. Honestly some of the greatest books I've ever read.

Got me into reading books as I never really gave them a chance. After reading the first one I was hooked, brilliant plot which keeps you second guessing and sharing with my friends made the books that much better. Felt like an addict waiting for the next book to come out.

Love these books! Amazing vampire world.

The book should have seventh part...

I really feel like this series never gets enough credit. People are always saying that Percy Jackson is so much better and I do agree, but just because this is by Rick Riordan doesn't mean that it's automatically a Percy Jackson book- even if there are crossovers. It's a different series and a totally amazing one. I totally fell in love with the characters and the plot and devoured it like I would any other good book.

Ancient Egypt needs to be out there how many book series are about Greek or Roman Gods. These books were great but I recommend reading them in order it makes no sense otherwise.

I love how rick riorden broke the tradition of the main boy and and girl characters and had them be siblings... Really amazing book series...

I love this book and the characters! Sadie is probably one of my favorite book characters of all time

Criminally underrated series... Amazing story

Dudes and dudesses, seriously, read this. The whole series is AWESOME.
If you're looking for a good sci-fi series to start reading filled with plot twist and excitement, this is the one. At first it may appear normal, but keep reading. You'll be surprised.

Badass teenage aliens with superpowers training to fight an army of genocidal xenoforms responsible for massacring their entire planet. As that one meme says, "still a better love-story than 'Twilight.'"

This is a good series. I love it. It is a really good series. I like it. It is really good.

AMAZING series! Read all seven books and they just get better and better!
