Well, gee ... like I said, good ones are pretty thin on the ground. Robert
Cormier, maybe? I was always a big fan of SE Hinton novels, they blew me
away when I was 14 or 15 ... I thought Paula Danziger's stuff was quite
good but I could never really learn to love Judy Blume. There's a wonderful
Australian book called `Two Weeks With the Queen' which is actually more of
a pre-teen/early teen book but still well worth reading. I don't know if
you could consider `To Kill a Mockingbird' a teen book, but again, everyone
should read it.
Anyone else got any ideas?
