Young Adult Poster Set: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Queen of Shadows & The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole

For anyone who grew up with a book permanently wedged in their bag, this trio celebrates the sweeping ambition and everyday awkwardness that make young-adult fiction so irresistible. From the corridors of power in Panem to the cramped bedroom of a spot-plagued diarist, these three prints hang together as a joyful, knowing tribute to coming of age in all its forms.

Why these three belong together

Each of these stories follows a young person wrestling with who they might become. Two are epic tales of ambition, survival and revenge set against richly imagined worlds, while the third turns its gaze inward to the small, painfully funny battles of adolescence. Together they capture the full range of what growing up can mean, from world-shaking decisions to the agony of a bad haircut.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2020)

Suzanne Collins takes readers back to the earliest days of the Hunger Games, long before Coriolanus Snow becomes the tyrant fans of the series will recognise. As a young mentor guiding a tribute from District 12, he is forced to choose between love and power amid brutal violence and rising ambition. It is a gripping prequel that explores how a hero and a villain can share the same origin story.

Queen of Shadows (2015)

The fourth instalment in Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series sees Celaena return to Rifthold as Aelin Galathynius, ready to claim her true identity. She must rescue her cousin, face her former master and fight to reclaim both her city and her throne before the shadows consume everything she loves. It is a fierce, fast-moving chapter in one of fantasy's most beloved sagas.

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole (1982)

Sue Townsend's classic gives us Adrian Mole, an endearingly awkward teenager chronicling his spots, heartaches and family chaos with unwitting comic genius. Through his diary entries he stumbles through puberty, politics and unrequited crushes, capturing the universal embarrassments of adolescence with deadpan wit. It remains a beloved, laugh-out-loud portrait of teenage life.

Styling your young adult wall

This set works beautifully in a reading nook, teenager's bedroom or landing gallery wall, arranged in a simple row or staggered for a more relaxed feel. Choose the Modern style for bold, graphic impact, Modern Minimalist for something quieter and more considered, Square for neat gallery-wall symmetry, or Watercolour for a softer, more painterly finish. Mix and match frames in oak, black or white, or leave the prints unframed for a fresh, modern look. However you hang them, remember that buying any three prints together saves you 20%.
