We have a very diverse group here, from voracious readers
to reluctant ones
, and they like everything from Orson Scott Card to Ellen Hopkins to Kerouac. 
But we're alternative,
so I'm thinking that the usual high school setting as it appears in the young adult novel won't appeal very much. Or I'm thinking that they typical suburban issues won't appeal very much.
At the very least, I'm looking for stuff that's close to the edge, but maybe I'm wrong in my assumptions. Maybe our students will dig into any good read—regardless of my prejudices.
N E waze--- please comment!!
I really want your list of top titles for the 15-19-year-old set.
