5 YA Books That Deserve a TV Series Adaptation Way More Than Twilight

While Twilight might have captured hearts around the globe with its vampire romance, there are many other young adult titles that have yet to receive the small screen treatment they so rightly deserve.

From epic fantasy adventures to heartwarming coming-of-age stories, these five YA books should top any fan's list of must-see TV show adaptations.

1. The Seven Realms

First up is The Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima.

This high fantasy tale follows Han Alister, a former streetlord turned wizard, and Princess Raisa ana'Marianna as they navigate complicated political alliances and magical battles.

With seven kingdoms at war and magic thrown into the mix, this series would make for one thrilling and visually stunning adaptation.

2. To All The Boys I've Loved Before

Next, we have To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han.

A sweet romantic comedy about a teenager whose secret love letters get mailed to all her past crushes, causing hilarious chaos.

This heartfelt novel has already gained a loyal audience thanks to Netflix 's hit movie adaptation, but turning it into a full-on series could take us even deeper into Lara Jean's quirky and lovable family dynamic.

3. The Diviners

Fourth on our list is The Diviners by Libba Bray – a paranormal murder mystery taking place in 1920s New York City.

When Evie O'Neill leaves her boring town to live with her uncle Will, she gets caught up in investigating occult murders alongside a cast of endearing characters each with unique powers.

This gripping supernatural detective series would capture both horror lovers and history buffs alike.

4. Red Queen

Another "must adapt" book on this list is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.

Set in a dystopian future where society is divided between commoners and silver bloods with superpowers, Mare Barrow discovers she possesses abilities she shouldn't possess.

Packed with action and intrigue, plus plenty of plot twists, this series would have audiences gripped from start to finish.

5. The Raven Cycle

And, finally, there's The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. This series of books features a group of prep school students who become obsessed with the legend of a sleeping Welsh king.

With elements of fantasy and magic, the story is rich in characters and atmosphere, making it a perfect candidate for a dark and atmospheric TV series.
