I was so tempted by this challenge when I first saw it, and then swithered rather over undertaking another. After a further week's deliberation I thought, why not? Twelve YA books in the course of 2008? I read at least one a month so I'd be reading and posting about them anyway. And the two other challenges I'm doing don't run the whole year. So, here goes (in no particular order):
1. Frances Hardinge, Verdigris Deep*
2. Garth Nix, Shade's Children*
3. Madeleine L'Engle, An Acceptable Time*
4. Julia Golding, Cat Among the Pigeons
5. John Wilson, The Alchemist's Dream
6. Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian
7. Catherine Fisher, Incarceron
8. Amanda Hemingway, The Poisoned Crown*
9. William Nicholson, Seeker
10. Patricia McKillip, Winter Rose
11. Adele Geras, Voyage
12. Patricia C. Wrede, Sorcery and Cecelia
Alternatives:
- Stephen Hunt, Court of the Air*
- Angie Sage, Magyk
- Kate Thompson, The New Policeman
- Sherman Alexie, Flight
- Charles de Lint, Little (Grrl) Lost
- Geraldine McCaughrean, The White Darkness
* these are books that I already have
