I was perusing the young adult section of the book store today and honestly had to say a majority of the titles I picked up sounded cliche--reading the backs, of course. Everything's so swallowed, chewed up, and spat back out, it feels. This is especially certain for the YA section, considering so many Harry Potter clones have shown up trying to fill the void.
Have you encountered any good YA material that's reasonably new, and isn't overly cliche? Something from 2007+, I'm hoping. Fresh off the press sort of stuff.
