The Thief By Megan Whalen Turner
YA F TURNER Attolia #1
Gen flaunts his ingenuity as a thief and relishes the adventure which takes him to a remote temple of the gods where he will attempt to steal a precious stone. This is a witty fantasy with an awesome protagonist. (There’s some romance later in the series but not in the first book.)

YA F PATTERSO Maximum #1
After the mutant Erasers abduct the youngest member of their group, the "birdkids," who are the result of genetic experimentation, take off in pursuit and find themselves struggling to understand their own origins and purpose. This is scifi with a snarky narrator, adventure, and some romance.

YA F GIER Ruby Red #1
Sixteen-year-old Gwyneth discovers that she, rather than her well-prepared cousin, carries a time-travel gene, and soon she is journeying with Gideon, who shares the gift, through historical London trying to discover whom they can trust. This is a fun time travel novel with a dash of romance.
The Ruins of Gorlan By John Flanagan
YA F FLANAGAN Ranger’s #1
When fifteen-year-old Will is rejected by battleschool, he becomes the reluctant apprentice to the mysterious Ranger Halt, and winds up protecting the kingdom from danger. This is adventurous fantasy with good humor and sarcasm; later books in the series have some romance as well.
