Ruth | 93 comments I'm doing an A-Z book challenge and the only letter I have left is Y. I would like a good young adult book. The Y can either be the first letter of the title, exempting stuff like 'A' or 'The' or it can be the first letter of the first or last name of the author. Thanks a ton!

Shanna_redwind | 852 comments I enjoyed reading You Can Run. It's a YA mystery, and I found it fairly good.

Also YA is Jane Yolen's Pit Dragon series starting with Dragon's Blood. When I was younger this was my ultimate favourite book. I don't know how available it is now though.

Also, for Y title try here:

Rick Yancey's The Monstrumologist is awesome, if you don't mind dark & creepy.

Suzanne Young's The Program is good dystopian YA.

The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls isn't YA, but it's a literary coming-of-age story and is excellent.

if you want more teen-angsty YA:

You Know Where to Find Me by Rachel Cohn

You Remind Me Of You: A Poetry Memoir


Lisa Yee has some good MG/YA.

Your Voice in My Head (memoir; not YA but interesting)
You Wish
You Have Been Warned: A Complete Guide to the Road (not exactly YA, but very fast, very funny read)
The Yellow Wallpaper (again, not strictly YA, but worth reading)
The Year My Sister Got Lucky

And a couple of authors:
Eve Yohalem
Dori Jones Yang
