Books of 2022: A round-up of the best books for a young audience

It’s been a bountiful year for childrens’ and young adult books and here is the kids and YA roundup of the best from 2022, writes Eibhlís Carcione

From picture books to Young Adult.

With Christmas coming and colder evenings drawing in, it’s a perfect time to remember that a book is the best gift of all. It’s been a bountiful year for childrens’ and young adult books. Funny, quirky, heart-wrenching books, books with eco themes, beautiful graphic novels, books with characters that stay, long after the last page has been turned. There were stories that made me gasp and shiver, stories that made me laugh, stories I didn’t want to end. Hopefully, this selection will open doors to some wonderful worlds.
