Help?

[squirrelhaven]

My niece is turning 14 this weekend. I have only just now remembered this. With amazon prime, I can order something this afternoon and it will arrive on (or near enough) her birthday that I won't feel like the deadbeat aunt. She loves to read, so surely a couple books would fit the bill. Yet I am drawing a total blank on what the classic young adult novels are.

For reference, I know she loved the Twilight books, and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I gave her brother a pile of Neil Gaiman books last year, so I can't do that again. I know that there are YA books I've read that would be perfect for her, and yet I cannot think of any; I've got a total deer-in-the-headlights problem with this oncoming birthday. Suggestions?

ETA: Thanks, everybody! I'm all set now -- purchase made, headlights averted. Phew.

I just found it funny that you opted out recommending one book for another equally depressing book. that's all

Except that she didn't. She was listing categories of YA and examples thereof.
