Great list! When I thought about this, I oddly came up with a ton of Young Adult novels from Middle School and High School. I think this is a reminder I need more free time to read!!!

When I think of Jane Yolen, especially today, it's always The Devil's Arithmetic. I haven't read The Wild Hunt :(

Thank you! Isn't it a fun meme? I found myself more inclined towards books I read in middle school and high school just because they were so formative.

I never read The Devil's Arithmatic, actually. I realize this makes me an inferior Jane Yolen fan, but mainly I find myself not seeking out any books related to the Holocaust.
