NPR is asking for the best YA books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you can only list five (but they can be a series). My five:
\nThe Thief of Eddis series (starts with The Thief) by Megan Whalen Turner<\/a>
\nRunaways<\/a> by Brian K Vaughan (not as much the rest of the series)
\nSabriel, Liriel and Abhorsen by Garth Nix<\/a>
\nGirl Genius<\/a> by Phil & Kaja Foglio
\nA Fistful of Sky by Nina Kiriki Hoffman<\/a><\/p>\n

Others:
\nA Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle
\nHis Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
\nDiscworld – Tiffany Aching by Terry Pratchett<\/a>
\nA Matter of Magic by Patricia Wrede<\/a><\/p>\n

Obvious (which I loved):
\nHarry Potter
\nHunger Games
\nThe Hobbit<\/p>\n

What I’ve read recently (need more time to judge as to best):
\nThe Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente<\/a>
\nMythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep<\/a>
\nShadow Falls series by CC Hunter<\/a>
\nThirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede<\/a>
\nBoneshaker by Cherie Priest<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
