    Thanks for the info! I love looking for good YA.

    I also liked Ally Carter’s “I’d Tell You I Love You but Then I’d Have to Kill You” :)

    Oooh, thank you for the list. My daughter is almost 13, and I’m always looking for new books for her to read. We will have to check these out. :)

    I love Cornelia Funke–Dragon Rider was amazing as an audiobook read by Brendon Fraiser. I haven’t read The Thief Lord yet, it’s on my list!

    I have NOT read Crystal’s book and I’m feeling just a tinsy wit perturbed about that. Maybe she’ll rectify that situation upon her return from the conference.

    Thanks for this list. I’m a librarian and I always like to know what young people like to read. I shall put these on my consideration list for the fall. I do have several of these in my library already. Cornelia Funke is awesome!

    Have you read Kate DiCamillo? She’s good to.
