They say never judge a book by its cover - but check out these three beautiful book covers! (above)
MY TOP TEN YOUNG ADULT BOOKS (that I enjoyed when I was your age)
Runaway Summer by Nina Bawden
Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt (first in a series of books about the Tillerman family. When their mum leaves them in a car park, Dicey has to find a new life for herself and her siblings)
Fox's Feud (Animals of Farthing Wood series) by Colin Dann
The Silver Sword by Ian Serralier
The Phantom Tollbooth
Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume (great teen romances, mainly aimed at girls!)
Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Peterson
Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones (she was the original JK Rowling - everything she writes is brilliant)
Anything by Christopher Pike - he writes horror books for young adults and I gobbled up anything by him. His adult sci-fi books are also excellent.
Flowers in the Attic - Virginia Andrews (a bit disturbing! About children whose mum and grandma keeps them locked in an attic to hide them from society)
The Seance by Joan Lowry Nixon
Brother in the Land - Robert Swindells
Ask me if any of these take your fancy - I have all my old books still :)
