As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

My Antonia by Willa Cather
This was a personal read for me, my father's family were also pioneers. It's a classic and a must read to connect to our American history. It is also a fine piece of literature. We have come a long way from the time this book takes place. A letter has so much more value then a text on the cell phone. The again there were no phones back then or just starting to come to the big cities. It's an agricultural story, it's a coming of age story, it's an immigrant's story and it's American's story. The audio book also is good. This book is like a fine dinner. Enjoy.
