7 of the best young adult novels of 2011

Here are seven of my favorite young adult novels of 2011.

7. 'Yeah!,' by Peter Bagge and Gilbert Hernandez

During the late '90s, during the heydey of the Spice Girls and Josie and the Pussycats, superstar alt-comics writers Peter Bagge ('Hate") and Gilbert Hernandez collaborated on a comic book aimed at young teenage girls. The ladies of Yeah! – Krazy, Honey, and Woo-Woo – are intergalactic stars, famous everywhere in the universe, except Earth. Returning from a 50-planet tour, they are stuck playing a Battle of the Bands in Rahway, New Jersey with their arch-rivals, an all-boy Beatles knock-off called the Snobs. The complete comics, collected for the first time this year, arrive just in time to snag teens engaged in retro '90s DIY zine and girl culture.
