• Lewis, Beverly  Heritage of Lancaster County series (The Shunning, The Confession, and The Reckoning).  It has the old order Amish culture as a background and contains the kinds of plot elements that young people are sure to enjoy (young protagonist who feels different than her surroundings, but can't tell why, romance, young love lost, a quest for identity, resistance to the status quo, etc., etc.).  I really enjoyed the series, and one learns a great deal about the Amish into the bargain.

• MacDonald, George.  who was C.S. Lewis's mentor.  There are titles with names like The Baron's Aprenticeship, The Fisherman's Lady... probably a dozen of those, which have been republished in modern language without the Scottish dialect edited by Michael Phillips.  I loved the ones I read.  There are also the Curdie books for a slightly younger  audience... delightful.  And one called At the Back of the North Wind which I discovered when a teacher had me hunt it down because it had been her adult daughter's favorite book as a child.  Macdonald also has some fantasies... one is called Phantastes I think.  You can't go wrong with his work.
