I completely agree with the hope element. It's one of the reasons I've shifted to reading a lot more YA fiction - I want a happy ending!
Jen, I agree. I spoke to a YA author about this very concept. I'm pretty sure she said that's a main reason why she writes YA fiction. Still, although I do think YA fiction is hopeful in the main (young adults should feel hopeful about life), the trend seems to be towards darker and grittier.
