Hmm...I liked it but I wasn't overly impressed by it. I think I prefer my Young Adult books to be of the paranormal/urban fantasy genres.

Great early character development (1 more)
Very minimal awkward teen love scenes
This is how young adult fiction should be done.
Roped in from the beginning. Easy reading without getting boring. Entertaining and engaging, with just the right amount of eye rolls from an adult reader for YA fiction.

Looking for good books for my 10 year old daughter. She is reading on a young adult/adult level. I want her to feel challenged but dont want her reading content that is too mature for her age. She enjoys most genres. Open to all ideas!

I had, same issue with my son, most school library books at his reading level were blocked to him until recently. What about books by Frank Cottrell Boyce? He used to love those at that age.

City of Bones was one of the first Young Adult novels I read after college. It was an easy read, and I was desperate for the next volume after reading it.

An eye opening account of a young girl. Definitely not a middle school book. Interesting story of a girl who has run away and lives a life as an adult quickly.

The Book Thief is one of my favorite young adult novels. The creativity of writing from the perspective of Death made this story memorable to me. I felt close to the characters and empathized with them.

"A delightful introduction to number theory, Einstein’s theory of relativity, higher dimensions, and other mathematical and scientific topics. I read it as a young adult, but it’s informative for old adults too."
