I Was a Teenage Chosen One
The fate of the world rests on this teenage girl's shoulders. She isn't like the other girls—she was chosen by prophecy, fate, or narrative convenience to save a realm that absolutely refuses to handle its own problems.

Happy to take any questions, suggestions, or corrections! 🫶
Hello, thank you for this list! I would suggest to add Mistborn from Brandon Sanderson. Vin is a teenage FMC, and trust me, she carries the weight of saving the world on her shoulders
it's already in the list but thanks so much for the suggestion!
The His dark materials series by Philip Pullman 🙂↕️ Lyra and her daemon are heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
The Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger fits too, but I have to confess I never finished it, because the books kept coming and coming 😆
I have a couple of POC suggestions, but so far I haven't read both of them 😔 The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna and Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao.
thank u I'll put them all in!!
