I like Lois Lowry (The Giver, Gathering Blue and messenger) and Scott Westerfeld (Uglies, Pretties and Specials) - both are trilogies set in possible futures. With Lowry, there really doesn't seem to be a lot of organization or much purpose, and no one questions the way things are because that's just how it is. Westerfeld is similar except this society is high tech with travel on hoverboards and operations when you turn 16, when you become a Pretty.
Lurlene McDaniel is good - I'd have a box of kleenex handy.
I also like Gary Paulsen, Louis Sachar, Sharon Draper and Walter Dean Myers.

Tamora Pierce has written ALOT of my favorite books. I suggest starting with Alanna: The First Adventure
Terri Farley is also an amazing writer. Seven Tears into the Sea is great.
And last but not least, Stephenie Meyer. She has written 2 book,. Twilight and its sequel, New Moon

Ummm... I have to say that my fav YA author is Cecily von Ziegesar. She has written 2 of my favorite series-The It Girl and Gossip Girl. All the books in both series are good realistic fiction books for girls that i really recommend!
