Random House Books for Young Readers publishes a wide variety of picture books, chapter books, middle grade and young adult fiction and nonfiction. Many kid-favorite, category leading series such as Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, Pizza and Taco and Step into Reading got their start in this flagship imprint, where we believe there is a book for every kid and all kids should have stories that they can see themselves in. Newbery winners sit comfortably alongside blockbuster series here, and we are the proud publishers of many bestselling and award-winning authors and illustrators, including Andrea Beatriz Arango, Kristen Bell, Soman Chainani, Andrew Clements, Jeanne DuPrau, Chrystal D. Giles, Chris Grabenstein, Rachel Griffin-Accurso (Ms. Rachel), Rachel Hartman, Jennifer L. Holm, Kim Johnson, Tae Keller, Emily Winfield Martin, Stacy McAnulty, Katharine McGee, Kate Messner, Annabelle Oh, Tamora Pierce, Rick Riordan, Dan Santat, Lisa Yee and more. From beloved standalone novels to commercial series and platform-driven picture books, our focus is on publishing books that kids self-select, and that turn kids into readers.
