Our 2021 Facts and Figures compilation of children’s and YA bestsellers includes a wide variety of titles, dominated by ongoing graphic novel series and their spinoffs, illustrated middle grade novels, and classic picture books. Our lists are based on print unit sales at outlets that report to NPD Bookscan, which tracks approximately 85% of the print market. Here we compile the books that sold more than 100,000 copies in four categories: Hardcover Frontlist, Paperback Frontlist, Hardcover Backlist, and Paperback Backlist.

Last year’s overall top-selling book was Mothering Heights, book 10 in Dav Pilkey’s hugely popular Dog Man series, which sold more than one million copies in hardcover. The middle grade series had a strong showing across multiple categories.

In addition to Grime and Punishment, the hardcover frontlist category features Pilkey’s Cat Kid Comic Club: Perspectives, the second installment in a graphic novel series starring Dog Man character Li’l Petey. Entries in Jeff Kinney’s mega-selling Diary of a Wimpy Kid and spinoff series Awesome Friendly Kid also had a strong showing, holding the second and third slots. And in spite of recent controversy, J.K. Rowling appears at #5 with her holiday novel, The Christmas Pig. The Harry Potter series, including its various illustrated editions, continues to rank high on the lists.

Holly Jackson nabs the top of the paperback frontlist with her YA thriller A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. The genre is proving an enduring favorite among teen readers. Graphic novel adaptations of the Baby-Sitters Club also appear frequently in this category.

Author-illustrator Eric Carle, who died last spring at age 91, remains a perennial favorite. For hardcover backlist, Carle took the cake once again with sales for The Very Hungry Caterpillar totaling more than 700,000 copies (up from roughly 610k in 2020). Margaret Wise Brown, Dr. Seuss, and Bill Martin Jr. also rank highly, alongside contemporary creators such as Sandra Boynton and Emily Winfield Martin.

Finally, paperback backlist reveals Adam Silvera’s They Both Die at the End and E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars at #1 and #2, respectively. These and other YA backlist titles, particularly tearjerkers and twisty thrillers, enjoyed renewed popularity over the past year thanks in part to readers’ reaction videos on TikTok.
