What I Was
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 820L · 2010
A haunting, literary exploration of first love and adolescent isolation; Rosoff's prose is beautiful but the ending is deliberately unsettling — not a comfort read.
How I Live Now
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 870L · 2004
A haunting, unsentimental YA war novel where intimacy and displacement collide; Rosoff trusts teenage readers with genuine complexity and ambiguous grief.
Picture Me Gone
Young adult · ages 12–18 · 780L · 2000
A Newbery Medalist's most sophisticated work—a mystery that's really about a girl learning to navigate adult ambiguity and claim her own understanding of her father; requires emotional maturity but rewards it.
The Bride's Farewell
Middle grade · ages 10–14 · 780L · 2010
A quiet, literary adventure about a girl who chooses the open road over a gilded cage — rich prose and genuine stakes, though the pacing may test readers who expect plot-driven narratives.
