Re-gifters by Mike Carey, Sonny Lieu and Marc Hempel (Minx)

Korean American teenager Dik Seong Jen, Jen to her family, Dixie to her friends, lives in LA and has a talent for Korean martial art hapkido, until she is distracted by a crush on her school and hapkido classmate surfer boy Adam.  A great story of how Dixie comes to terms with her feelings, her sense of identity and has a great feel good happy ending.

Burnout by Rebecca Donner and Inaki Miranda

The Minx series of graphic novels are written specifically for teenage girls and like teenage fiction they vary a bit, some are very good coming of age stories, others a bit thin, but I loved this one. The graphics and story were powerful and good.

"When Danni - whose father has left the family years earlier - moves with her mother to her mother's new boyfriend's house in the Pacific-Northwest, Danni develops a crush on his son. But when she secretly follows him, she discovers he's involved in eco-terrorism. Now Danni has to choose between falling in love and getting involved in something that she knows is illegal - a choice that will change her life forever"
