Rijan | 56 comments I'd like to read YA novels with more than just one protagonist (and multiple POVs!). Any genre is fine, as long as the novels are YA. Thanks!

Mara | 33 comments The Grimrose Girls
An Ember in the Ashes
Six of Crows and its sequel, Crooked Kingdom. Also by the same author, King of Scars and its sequel, Rule of Wolves.

Capn | 3506 comments I highly recommend "The Dark is Rising" sequence. You have Simon, Jane and Barney Drew visiting their mysterious great-uncle Merry by the seaside in book one, "Over Sea, Under Stone".

Then the titular "The Dark is Rising" is book two of the sequence, and it follows Will Stanton, the youngest in a family of 5 siblings, who turns 11 on Midwinter's Eve. This is a much darker, more fantastical tale than the first!

Then book three (Greenwitch) is back with the Drew kids (and Will Stanton is there now, too), and book four (which won the Newbery Medal) features another central character, Bran, and Will again, in Wales.

The final book has all five protagonists in it.

I really can't recommend it enough.

Over Sea, Under Stone
The Dark Is Rising
Greenwitch
The Grey King
Silver on the Tree

Edit: If you don't mind reading a little 'younger' on that YA spectrum, the A Wrinkle in Time series has a family of protagonists in a 5-book series. It's more children's than YA, though: A Wrinkle in Time Quintet: Books 1-5

bookel | 4018 comments Who Stole Kathy Young? by Margaret Goff Clark is one of my favourites. Chapter headings show whose point of view it is.

I just finished Out There by Adrien Stoutenburg, which had multiple points of view that seemed to jump around a lot. It was a good story though.
