Okay, here are some of the super-obscure ones I'm just wondering whether I'm the only one for...
Lots of Louis Sachar stuff (Wayside School, Holes...) Lots of Gordon Korman stuff (especially the sports, No More Dead Dogs, Island trilogy?)
"In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson"--Bette Bao Lord
basically a lot of baseball-themed stuff...
Things I've technically written (surreal crossover) fic for: -Outernet (Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore): series of six parody science-fiction books. -Mal Peet's YA books (Tamar, historical fiction; Keeper/The Penalty/Exposure, soccer/football series with a hint of fantasy; "Life, An Exploded Diagram"--have not read this one but I've heard it's good). -Children of the Star trilogy (Sylvia Louise Engdahl--"This Star Shall Abide," "Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains," "The Doors of the Universe")
I'll come up with some more plausible candidates later I guess. Sorry, just way too bouncy about this.
