Not every movie adaptation of a young adult book series can be a Harry Potter or Hunger Games. Some, for better or worse, only lasted for one film.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Whether conjuring grim dystopias or romantic fantasy realms, young adult franchises tend to cultivate dedicated fan bases yet, some movie adaptations of popular YA novels failed to last for more than one film. Some are widely seen as unsatisfying adaptations that either changed the source material too much or simply translated it poorly to the big screen.

10 Mortal Engines Mortal Engines is an adventure-filled and sometimes very dark book, the first in a quartet of the same name by British author Philip Reeve. Set in a post-apocalyptic future in which cities are enormous vehicles, the novel isn't afraid to lean into steampunk tropes ― airships, smoke-belching machines, and pirates abound ― while also featuring cyborgs made from corpses.

7 Vampire Academy Supernatural schools are certainly a tried and tested trope of YA escapism and wish fulfillment, from Harry Potter to Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Wednesday ― and Vampire Academy is no different. Author Richelle Mead's six books follow half-vampire Rose, who starts her journey at St Vladimir's Academy.

4 City Of Ember The City of Ember is the first novel in the Books of Ember series by Jeanne DuPrau, and like fellow sci-fi dystopia Mortal Engines, it offers an intriguing and grim world. Its post-apocalyptic setting sees humans confined to an underground city ― but the fact they are meant to leave one day, and that there is a world outside at all, has been forgotten.
