Sonya Hartnett has written some fantastic YA novels. I like her books because unlike a lot of YA fiction she doesn't provide those false, phony "happy ever after" endings in her books. Her novels are strong, realistic, and the characters are memorable and stay with you a long time after you've read one of her books. Some of her titles are:
Sleeping Dogs
Surrender
Wilful Blue
What the Birds See
Thursday's Child
The above are all good but my fave is Sleeping Dogs. It's about a family (mother, father, five children) who run a caravan park in rural Australia. An artist comes to stay at their park and finds the family interesting and mysterious, especially the beautiful older daughter. He sets out to discover their secret and does so, to a shocking conclusion. I highly recommend it.
Happy reading to you! :-)

Try When the Wind Blows by James Patterson. It's the first book of the Angels of your Maximum Ride series. Theres also another book about them called The Lake House. You'll like them.

Try Peeps by Scott Westerfeld. It's a modern vampire novel with a different take on vampirism. Good sense of humor along with horror and adventure. Also, try the trilogy of Uglies, Pretties and Specials by the same author.

Hi,
For Young Adult adventure, romance, and something a little scary (but not too scary) try TITHE and VALIANT by Holly Black, and BLOOD & CHOCOLATE by Annette Curtis Klause.
