I'm a great fan of well done "juveniles".  A juvenile can have anything an
adult book can have (except for wild sex).  The prose is seldom as
intricate as other adult novels, but that means that it can be clearer,
more direct, without the complications adult life can impose on
situations.  Diana Wynne Jones (together with Margaret Mahy, Jane Yolen,
and Daniel Pinkwater (for humor) are among my favorite "juvenile" authors.
I'd especially recommend the "Chrestomanci" books as well as "Fire and
Hemlock" [an excellent retelling of Tam Lin].

[C] == Story Collection.
