The Light in the Dark YA Bundle - Curated by Allyson Longueira

I love young adult fiction. And I'm not the only far-from-young adult who does. So, when I had the opportunity to curate another StoryBundle, I knew YA was the way to go.

Welcome to the Light in the Dark YA StoryBundle.

Each book in this bundle sparks a light in the dark. Sometimes, that light comes from within. Sometimes, the characters must fight back the darkness to find it. And their stories demonstrate the incredible diversity of young adult fiction, from lighthearted and inspirational to dark and gritty.

These eleven fantastically versatile authors provided thirteen books that offer magic, triumph, humor, daring, hardship, and resilience. Sometimes, all in one.

Join in the adventure as Buffalo Jimmy and his friends seek revenge and fight for survival in Dean Wesley Smith's Headed West; Galen and his clan sacrifice everything to find a future and hope for their families in Darcy Pattison's Vagabonds; the Prentiss twins discover more than they bargained for in Deb Logan's Thunderbird; and Turtle and Agata delve into a dangerous mystery in John Biggs' Mytro.

Experience youthful defiance with "Rabbit" Labelle as he deals with racism in David H. Hendrickson's Offside and Elinor Pembroke as she chooses an unorthodox path in Melissa McShane's Burning Bright. Go back to high school with Tiffany VanDerHoven as she comes to terms with her newfound mortality in Kristine Grayson's Tiffany Tumbles, and Gabby DeCorte as she plays the LifeGame in Thomas K. Carpenter's Gamers Trilogy.

And journey along with diverse tales of magic, adventure, dragons and more in Jody Lynn Nye's Daring, Anthea Sharp's Tales of Feyland and Faerie, and Fiction River: Sparks, edited by Rebecca Moesta.

The books in the Light in the Dark YA StoryBundle feature bestselling authors along with newer names you'll be glad you tried. As always at StoryBundle, you name your own price—whatever you feel the books are worth, and a portion of the proceeds goes to charity—in this case, SMART (Start Making a Reader Today). And if you pay at least $15, you'll get all thirteen books!

The Light in the Dark YA Bundle runs for three weeks only. So, reconnect with your youth and enjoy everything that young adult fiction has to offer. – Allyson Longueira
