    The book of david
    Barracuda (For adults but teens should like it)

    There are a couple on wattpad but you just have to be careful which ones you choose because there are some people who are straight who just like the idea of gay romance and usually all they have is sex in it... unless you like that sort of thing.
    Having said that, there are some pretty good ones but you have you search around a little.
    Hope you find some. :slight_smile:

    I did the same thing but it was on my kindle and it was registered to my mum's email. She asked me about it the next day and said she wanted to read it. :icon_redf

    Here's a long list from Goodreads: It's LGBT, but if you scroll though and read the desciprions, there's a good number that seem interestuing, and you can read the comments/reviews:

    Best GLBT books for teens (209 books)

    This is the sort of genre I'm hoping to write something in, eventually...

    Hero by Perry Moore is about a gay teenager who goes to a superhero academy. I enjoyed reading it :slight_smile:
