Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Hi, my name is Ares Navarro and I am working on my research project for my master's degree. My topic is how contemporary non-fantasy ya literature portrays how teenagers see growing up (as something terrible, positive, to prepare for, to avoid...). And I was wondering if you or someone you know may know about some titles that would fit in the category for me to analyse. I understand it may be too much trouble for you, but just a title or two, or maybe a web were I could find some ideas would help me a lot.
Thank you very much in advance,

Ares

Hopefully these help or give you inspiration. I have a similar project so i know the frustration of finding books!

These websites might help. It has some solid contemporary YA novels about that deal with growing up, among other things.

I also like these two, which involve teens growing up when they get to college:



These are some high school books that I felt captured the experience of growing up and maturing:


Good luck!

Thank you very much!! I actually didn't expect such a quick answer! (I have been sending messages to publishers non-stop with no answer at all...)
I will certainly look into them!
