Looking at all these, I cant help but think a) we are lucky there are so many ya books from so many places b) a lot of them are from the same places(italy\france\spain\england)
c) I wish someone would write a book based in India,belguim, Iceland, Cuba+++.

Irene (raenne) I agree, especially about part c. We've lots of books set in Denmark, but those haven't been translated to English, although that may be available in Swedish and Norwegian..

You do have apparances of denmark but I cant recall any books that are set entirely in denmark no.
13 Little Blue Envelopes (Little Blue Envelope, #1) by Maureen Johnson has a section in denmark,a small one but still.
