Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde --one of my face standalones (a rare bird!), about a girl who's playing a fantasy VR game when there's an equipment malfunction and she HAS to win the game before the system overheats and kills her. The story is fun, the 'restart' mechanic adds a fun element, and I like the main character--a lot of the characters are fun, actually. It plays with tropes in a fun way

Un Lun Dun by China Mieville --so amazing! The wordplay, the weird illustrations, the crazy worldbuilding, the trope inversions--one or my favorite YA novels. Urban-fantasy-ish.

Dragonback by Timothy Zahn --it's Timothy Zahn writing sci-fi YA! All the Zahn-y goodness of tight clever plots and cunningly integrated forshadowing and super cool sci-fi elements--the K'da are SUCH a neat species.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer --Disney owns it, HOW is the series not movies yet?? Crazy and colorful, with a 12-year-old criminal genius vs the technopunk fairy world.

So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane --DD is amazing at creating alien cultures and this series is no mistake. The system of magic is very cool, and the whole series has an amazing fantasy/scifi fusion feel. I love the main characters and it has loads of amazing imagery.

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket --how to explain?? just read. very strange. writing style is very stylized, but i love it. the gothic feel is the bomb.

Redwall series by Brian Jacques --anthropomorphic animals fightin' and friendshippin' and feastin' (I am always SO HUNGRY after he describes the food!!), there's more than 20 books so they start to get repetitive, but you can pick up any one and enjoy a good yarn. Mossflower is first, read that one. Long Patrol has the best battle/war scenes. The Legend of Luke made me actually cry tears like a human?? wizardry.
