Young Adult Novels

I like young adult novels. A lot of them are very well written and tend to deal with people's feelings and social situations they find themselves in. Others deal with historical matters, such as the American Girls series. Some are horror/fantasy in nature. What I will do here is list some of my favorite series/books and then link to where I do one or more reviews about the book or author. Since I am constantly reading new novels, this section will slowly enlarge over time.

The categories I am using are sort of broad; some books span more than one category, so I've put them into the one they deal with the most. I will also add a general date for when I do the review, starting with 3/2008 for March, 2008.

Abduction

Eating Disorders

This is a better known condition in which people, usually females, basically starve themselves thinking that they are too fat no matter what their actual weight or appearance is. The topic has received a lot of attention, especially in relation to young girls modeling themselves after ultra-thin actresses and models.
