Favorite Young Adult Novels — Page 2

Roll Of Thunder Hear my Cry! I totally forgot about that book! I loved it in fifth grade.

I dunno that I really read a lot of young adult books out of school though. In the seventh grade my favorite book was 1984. And it still is one of my favorites.

Oh, I loved True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle as well.

We teenage girls love our books about forbidden love, ss.

So true!

Flowers in the Attic?

Haha, I read that whole series in all it's trashy goodness when I was about 14/15.

I have to give another nod to The Giver. I picked it up by accident because my younger sister's teacher had given it to her as a gift and I was bored. I've read it several times now and I cry at the end every time. Such a beautiful book.

Another book by Lois Lowry that I love is Number the Stars. It's about a young girl in Copenhagen during WWII.

Some others that make my list:
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
The Phantom Tollbooth
Wait Till Helen Comes (a very creepy ghost story by Mary Downing Hahn)
The Anastasia series
The Wayside School series

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Chronicles of Narnia books. I have the volume where all the novels are in one book (the same as the picture) and I love them to death.

A WRINKLE IN TIME
BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA

How could I forget these? I forget how many books I read growing up. I also second "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry."

Jane Eyre (Classic)
A Great and Terrble Bueaty/ Rebel Angels (Amazing, romantic, frightening, fantastic, truhful...)
The Year my Life went Down the Loo (Utter and wonderful bubblegum for the brain)
And so many more! it's so hard to choose just a few...
