The dictionary defines 'coming of age' as "a young person's formal transition from adolescence to adulthood". However this does not even scrape the surface of the intensity of the emotional highs and lows this transition can beset upon its unsuspecting, and often innocent and easily influenced, young minds. These titles take you through almost every conceivable form of this transition, with some leaving you in tears of joy and other leaving you questioning the world we live in. Whether it's a trip down memory lane or simply a great night in that you're looking for this collection has it all.
