A YA novel I enjoyed is The Book Thief.

Subject: [CALIBK12] Seeking a Book Club RecommendationDear Calib Friends, I belong to a small, all-female book club whose members (all close friends of mine) have diverse tastes and careers (from stay-at-home mom who used to work as a Marriage & Family counselor to a Livermore Lab computer projects manager to a property manager with an Oxford PhD in archaeology).  We alternate picking the titles we read, and it is my turn next and I would appreciate some suggestions.   Recent well-received titles have included The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, People of the Book, and To Kill a Mockingbird .  A book we universally didn't enjoy was Out Stealing Horses.   I want to convince them that YA literature has compelling offerings we would enjoy and would greatly appreciate suggestions of YA titles you or your students have read and would recommend.   I don't know yet whether I will tell them in advance that I am picking a YA book or not.  Thanks in advance,Anne Anne Snyder, MLISK-8 LibrarianCeres Unified School District(209)556-1500 Ext. 1109  _______________________________________________
