2007 was an exciting year in young adult literature. There are books by American, British and Australian authors, established authors and newcomers.
Each of these books features an unforgettable female protagonist who will make you laugh, cry and everything in between. You’ll find contemporary realistic and historical fiction, mysteries, and survival and coming-of-age stories.
These coming-of-age novels feature strong, unforgettable male protagonists in contemporary realistic settings.
While I absolutely love MANY books, these are the ones that stand out above the rest. These books have left a lasting impression on me and I hope they’ll have the same affect on you.
