Hi Mark, There were no YA books when I wrote The Young and
The Violent as Vin Packer, but had there been several of my
Packer books would be YA. The only suspense or "noir" I did
as M.E. Kerr was the Fell series. All three books are out in
one paperback called The Books of Fell.
What distinguishes a YA book from others is strictly the age
of the protagonist. Should be in teens.
I wasn't too fond of Smack. The only British suspense or noir
I like is a Phillip Pullman book. There are many. He's really
good.
I'd be happy to answer any questions your daughter has.
Cheers! vin packer
