The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale
Best of Blume (Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret; Blubber; Iggie's House; and Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself)
Fallen Angels
Sunrise Over Fallujah
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
The First Part Last
After Tupac & D Foster
There's a Girl in My Hammerlock
Star Girl
Speak
Chains
Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
Jellicoe Road
The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place

Very much into recommendations of good YAL.

Need to get People's History of American Empire for my classroom library. [Update: Got it!]
