One of my favorite YA books when I was actually in high school is Not A Swan by Michelle Magorian. This is the American version; the British version, which I have not read, is A Little Love Song, which I have not read. I do know there are some significant differences in some details (For example, Swan has three sisters, but Love Song only has two.), but the story itself is supposedly the same. Anyway, it's set in WWII and is about sisters who get sent to the country to get away from the bombing, and the youngest, Rose, is the main character. It's really a coming of age story for her, and I still love it. (I was able to get a library copy from Amazon, but Swan is out of print.) I read it every summer for at least five summers in a row, maybe more.
