There’s a lot of great young adult fiction out there, but sometimes it’s hard to find books that tackle the topics we want to explore. Whether you’re a young person already devoted to Islam, or you have muslim friends and family who you want to see represented in the books you read, these titles are a great place to start in getting more Islamic representation onto your reading list! The age recommendations on this list range from 12 to 17, so make sure that you check the content warnings before reading so you know you’ll be comfortable with the topics each book explores.
