We know that Netflix and other streaming services are obsessed with creating movies and TV shows of YA books, so I have compiled a list of Young Adult Books that would be great on Netflix.
- A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Series
This series is just dying to be watched. Between its superb plot, fantastic cast of characters and plot twists, this would make such a good TV show or movie. I have no idea who would play any of the characters but the plot itself lends itself to be a great movie script, complete with interviews and college submissions. PLEASE! Someone get this in a writers room right this instance!
2. Legend by Marie Lu
I mean, come on, a book series that takes place during a pandemic? A few years ago, I was obsessed with this series, and I need this to be a TV show or movie. Again, the plot was so so so good, and as a society, I’ve noticed we really like science fiction. This has all the parts that make a story fantastic.
3. We are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson
At 15 years old, this book wrecked me. Now, 7 years later, I still think about it. It’s a beautiful story about a boy who must decide if the world is worth saving. It’s also features an LGBT couple front and center. This reminds me of They Both Die in the End but it’s 10 times better (In my opinion). Everyone should read this book, but a filmed version would make my little gay heart so happy.
