Any Elizabeth Acevedo. Clap when you land is my fav, followed by with the Fire on High, then The Poet X.
Ruta Sepetys gives voice to unrepresented history and those who experienced it. I've read The fountain of silence- post war, Franco Spain. Between shades of Grey -Llithuania & soviet force. it's been made into a film call Ashes of snow.
When we were Vikings by Andrew David Macdonald, a most intriguing protagonist call Zelda, who suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome.
All the Bright Places - Jennifer Niven - deals with teen suicide. heartwarming.
Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano, Edward making sense of life after a plane crash that killed all including his family.
Read any of these and you wont be disappointed.
seems you aren't the only one that's read lots of YA. Often i don't know they are YAs when I pick up the book to read and only realises it when I finished.
I’ve read Clap when you land and The Poet X - both amazing. I have all the Bright places next to my bed right now. Will add the others. Love that everyone else loves YA ❤️
An oldie but a goodie for me is See Ya Simon by David Hill. I received it as a Christmas present something like 30 years ago (eek) but it has stayed with me ever since (both emotionally and physically - I still have the original book). I was delighted to hear that our neighbour's 13 year-old boy had recently read it - so it must still be relevant today.
