all these books look AWESOME, but are there ANY YA boy-leaning books that are NOT fantasy? my son hates them … too scary! doesn’t anyone knock up a raft and go adventuring down the river anymore? cheers, Tracey

I am new to YA and these titles look great! I’ll tell my oldest to check out your post! She’s just on the cusp of YA.

In reply to Laura Fabiani.

Laura,
Yes, I’ve read all these books.

I didn’t think any were too violent for teenagers. However, Rot and Ruin is about killing and could be considered too violent or scary for certain tastes.

Hope that helps,

Melissa
