When I was making my list of interesting YA books to read yesterday, going through Amazon was so disheartening, because I'd click on these cool-sounding titles, and get books on dying, gangs, slavery, divorce, etc. GAAAAAAH! The entire contemporary YA section is plagued by Message Books.
ETA: Not to mention the one that has the main character's family adopting a small almost-dead boy who's the only survivor of an illegal immigrant group crossing the border. AND the main character's aunt is a Bosnian refugee, which just seems like adding insult to injury there.
