I recommend the series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians". I adore Greek mythology, and this series brings the old sagas right up to date. (For instance, one ascends to Mount Olympus via the elevator in the Empire State Building.) The first of the five, "The Lightning Thief" was just made into a movie opening Feb. 12th. It should be a hoot to see Pierce Brosnan as Chiron. :D
Also, Anansi Boys is wonderful. I wouldn't classify it as YA, but it's a great read.
