Can you recommend some young adult fictions about someone who works in a morgue?

One challenge is dealing with the psychological impact. Working in a morgue means constantly being around death, which can be very disturbing. For example, in some fictions, the characters may have nightmares or struggle with feelings of gloom.

One such book is 'The Body Finder' by Kimberly Derting. It has elements related to the morgue and a young adult protagonist dealing with some rather dark and mysterious situations.

Sure. 'The Hunger Games' series by Suzanne Collins has elements that can be related to Christian themes like sacrifice and hope in a dystopian world, although not overtly Christian. Another one is 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis. It's full of Christian allegories, with Aslan representing Jesus. The story is an adventure that young adults can really enjoy and also gain some spiritual insights from.

Another one is 'Heat' by Mike Lupica. This book focuses on a young boy's journey in baseball. It delves into his struggles, his dreams of making it big in the baseball world, and how he overcomes various obstacles as a young adult in the context of baseball.

Sure. 'The Darkest Powers' series by Kelley Armstrong is a great one. It follows Chloe Saunders, a teen who discovers she has special powers and gets involved in a world of supernatural creatures. Another is 'Redwall' by Brian Jacques. It's set in a world of anthropomorphic animals and is full of adventure, battles, and moral lessons. There's also 'The Golden Compass' by Philip Pullman which has a complex and magical world with daemons and a young girl's journey of discovery.

Well, 'Punching the Air' by Ibi Zoboi and Yusef Salaam is an excellent choice. It's a novel - in - verse that combines the power of rap with a story of a young man wrongly convicted. The use of rap - like language in the writing really gives it a unique and engaging feel, and it also delves into themes of justice and self - discovery.

Another great option could be 'The Tiger's Daughter' which has strong female characters who can be considered as girl warriors in a sense. The story is set in a richly imagined world where the relationship with tigers plays an important role, and it's a story of loyalty, love and fighting for what's right.

Often, they have a sense of mystery. Since morgues are associated with death and the unknown, the books usually involve some sort of mystery to be solved. For example, finding out the cause of death in a strange or unexplained way.

I'm not sure specifically which works are branded as UTEP Young Adult Fiction. But you could start by checking the UTEP library's collection, looking for anthologies or individual books by UTEP - affiliated authors in the young adult section.

One well - known young adult fiction related to Nicholas Flamel is 'The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel' series by Michael Scott. It's full of adventure, magic, and interesting characters.
