It’s no doubt that young adult fiction (YA) is one of the most popular genres this side of Panem, crossing over to adult readers as well. Nowhere is that more apparent than at San Diego Comic-Con where the publishers booths are packed to the gill with great content and fanatical readers.
One of the best booths for YA fiction is #2800 and #2802, the home to First Second Books and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group.
