Okay - this is from a library science YA course (I am thinking about taking this class eventually).
Classics: The Outsiders (SE Hinton) Weetzie-Bat (F L Block) (???? I don't think I've ever heard of this one, though the author's name is vaguely familiar) Forever (J Blume) MC Higgins the Great (V Hamilton) Go Ask Alice (Anon) v. depressing; not a good birthday gift
It also has categories of Horror (Twilight), Fantasy (The Giver), Science Fiction (Wrinkle in Time), GLBTZ (Annie on My Mind), Historical Fiction (The Braid), Realistic/Issues (Speak by L H Anderson), Graphic Novels (Rapunzel's Revenge, which I just read and is Awesome!), Multicultural (Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian), and Biography/Non-fiction (Diary of Anne Frank). I can give you more ideas in any of those categories, if you wish.
