   You would be surprised.  Kids learn about hot trrendy books via     
   their social media!  LOL   
      
   Consistent sellers are manga graphic novels (the ones you read     
   back to front), Captain Underpants, Bad Guys, Dog Man, Wimpy     
   Kid, Dork Diaries, The Princess in Black, Diary of an 8-Bit     
   Warrior, the book series by Rick Riordan, the different series     
   by Sarah Maas, and Cinda Williams Chima, and Victoria Aveyard,     
   and Casandra Clare.   
      
   There is super hot series right now called Shadow & Bone by     
   Leigh Bardugo (now adapted for Netflix); I never seem to have     
   enough before I run out.  The Harry Potter series are a staple;     
   they are always summertime and wintertime favourites.   
      
   There are quite a few other authors, too numerous to remember     
   off the top of my head.   
      
   When there is an adaptation to a tv series, many people want to     
   get a head start (or get "more to the story") and read the     
   books.
