Before We Were Free, Julia Alvarez (last days of Trujillo in the Dominican Republic) The Endless Steppe, Esther Hautzig (true story; exile to Siberia during World War II) A Step From Heaven, An Na (emigrating from Korea to the U.S.) Of course, most young adult literature deals with change of one sort or another. "A Mango-Shaped Space" by Wendy Mass, for example, is a coming of age novel in which a catalyzing event is the diagnosis of synesthesia in Mia, the protagonist, which entirely changes how she sees herself.
