Prompt 39 - YA

Ugh. I don't like YA. To the extent that there are books on this list that I loved decades ago when it was more relevant - I've already read them. I'm hoping to find something in that narrow space where the book is not filled with YA tropes, it's just on the list because the protagonist is young. Which is fine.

Candidates:

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
Pet by Akwaeke Emezi
The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
We Are Not Free by Traci Chee
Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

and because they're queer:
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender
The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
