Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Sonya Hartnett has written some excellent YA novels. Her books are great in that they don't always have the typical "happy ever after" endings that a lot of YA books have. Her stories are strong and realistic, and her characters stay with you a long time after you've finished reading her books. Some of her titles are:

Sleeping Dogs
Surrender
Wilful Blue
What the Birds See
Thursday's Child

The above are all good but my fave is Sleeping Dogs. It's about a family (mother, father, five children) who run a caravan park in rural Australia. An artist comes to stay at their park and finds the family interesting and mysterious, especially the beautiful older daughter. He sets out to discover their secret and does so, to a shocking conclusion. I highly recommend it.

Good luck and happy reading! :-)
