Asexual Teen Fiction

Asexuality is increasingly recognised as a valid sexual identity. Unfortunately books containing a major asexual character are still extremely rare (or not explicitly identified). None of these books feature a completely central asexual character, but they all play significant roles in the story.

The Fire's Stone by Tanya Huff

• A straightforward and enjoyable fantasy that both me and my younger brother read about five times between the ages of 13 and 20, with three main characters who end up in a polyamorous relationship; a bisexual prince, a repressed gay thief and an asexual princess. The girl is in her late teens, isn't quite the most important character, but does have a very major role. 
• Generally suitable for ages 15-18.

Guardian of the Dead by Karen Healey

• A highly original fantasy horror story. Set in New Zealand, thus is a high school murder mystery that becomes a unique tale involving Maori mythology, and immortality. The protagonist is a straight girl, but a minor supporting character is an asexual boy, who our protagonist has a crush on, and who comes out during the story. 
• Again, suitable for ages 15-18.

Quicksilver by R. J. Anderson

• A slightly surreal science fiction story, following the outwardly perfect Tori, an asexual teen girl, as she tries to escape unscrupulous geneticists and an alien heritage. Well reviewed, and enjoyable, with an asexual main character.
• The sequel/companion book to Ultraviolet (no LGBTQIA content).
• And again, suitable for ages 15-18.
