"Why can't it be yeti's? Think of the yeti's!"
In a paraphrased conversation with a group of friends/co-workers I realized that yes, I was seriously debating whether the big new trend in YA fiction might be Yeti's. Or possibly, zombie pirate vampire yeti's (that don't sparkle. Not sparkling is a step in the right direction).
There seem to be a few trends in YA fiction that are ongoing right now - vampires of course but it seems to be followed by angels (see the Fallen series by Lauren Kate but also the Halo novels) and then a brief foray in to mermaids.
The trends that do some to be coming up (other than angels!) are faeries, dystopia and historical romance/books. And strangely, a diversion in to the French Revolution.
