Young adult fiction continues to thrive at San Diego Comic-Con, where packed publisher booths prove that YA stories are beloved far beyond their teen audience. One of the top destinations for fans of the genre is Booths #2800 and #2802, home to First Second Books / Fierce Reads and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group. Their lineup this year features bestselling authors, exciting new releases, and fan-favorite series — many of which will be available to get signed throughout the weekend.
All signings at the booth are typically free to attend.
