Thirteen YA books that NPR Missed

For those who haven't seen it NPR listed the top 100 YA books. I think there are several titles that aren't on this list.  Here they are (in no particular order) .

 

13) Let the Circle Be Unbroken by Mildred B Taylor

12) A Swiftly Titlting Planet by Madeline L'Engle

11) Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn

10) Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey

9) Dragonflight (Pern) by Anne McCaffery 

8) Animorphs series by K.A. Appelgate

7) Watership Down by Richard Adams

6) How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents

5) Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher

4) American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang

3) Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

2) Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey 

1) It by Stephen King

 

Happy TT!

Those book lists always seem to miss the mark. Makes me wonder who puts them together. Nice additions.

[T.S.]

I would comment and say some of these aren't YA, but a lot of the NPR list wasn't either, so if those count, these definitely count too. And they're good choices.
