Looking for the best online fiction stories for kids? It’s easy to find them online, and the best part is most of them are free! It used to be that you either had to buy a book or subscription to a magazine to read the classics, but these days there are literally thousands of great children’s books available via the Internet. Let’s take a look at some of the top picks.
The Singles Club by E.L. James is a novel I recommend for any young adult reader. Set in a modern day near you (certainly no more than 500 miles away!) James blends humor with romance to make this a light read with humor and heart. What’s great about this book for young adult readers, is that the main character, Luke, doesn’t date, because he is single!
Once a year, Matt Mitchenberg writes a realistic novel called The Heart Song. This is a good, lighthearted read for any young adult reader. Two teenage friends, Charlie and Lane, have just discovered they have feelings for each other and soon find they are dating. Things heat up quickly between the two, but Charlie has trouble deciding if he wants to get engaged to Lane or not. This story is very positive for a young adult reader, as it shows young people making decisions about love and commitment.
For young adult readers, Karen Kingsbury is known for her popular, humorous fantasy novels such as Heart Dance and Sleeping With Other Dogs. In fact, you may recognize her from the movie, A Tree Of Life. This newest novel is part one of a series called The Breaking Song and takes place in an alternate version of present-day Sweden. This one is different from most of her books, in that it focuses on a relationship that spans generations, instead of focusing solely on a single child.
Writing about love and relationships can be difficult for authors, as it is often times complicated and unrealistic. However, Jane Espich’s story in the short story collection The Bewitched Files takes the idea of love and relationships and makes it very understandable and relatable to readers. Espich does a wonderful job of taking the love meter from the “chaos” of uncontrolled emotions and making it into something that is rational and understandable. This book is not for young adults only, as it contains themes that can appeal to readers of all ages. It is a great introduction to the crazy world of love.
Finding the best fiction stories for young adult readers can be difficult, but picking one shouldn’t be. If you love reading stories, whether they are for young adults or in another genre, then chances are you will enjoy The Heart Song by Karen Kingsbury. It is guaranteed to make you think and question your own perceptions about love. While the story is fictional, the message it carries is very much alive. Reading this book will help you to expand your mind and to consider other points of view.
