SEC: Best adult novels for YAs

[Rena Deutsch]

We have a large YA collection in our library which many of our 11th and
12th graders have "outgrown". Within our "regular" fiction collection, we
have the classics (e.g., the novels that the college-bound student should
read) as well as contemporary authors/titles, so I can usually find
something to recommend. However, I am looking for new suggestions for
novels -- not mysteries, thrillers, or horror books, but anything else
(including sci fi, something I don't read and therefore can't tell students
anything about!).

I am interested in hear your vote on:
1. an adult novel which you have found students in your school really like
and/or
2. an adult novel which you have read and you think students would like

Thanks in advance!
