For this week's TTT, a blog meme started over at The Broke and the Bookish, here are ten books I've read that deal with a tough issue. Whether you agree may depend upon your definition of 'dealing' and possibly your definition of 'issue.' There were some I wanted to include but, uh, ran out of space.
The Book Thief - War (specifically WWII), the Genocide, Death
Bridge to Terabithia - Childhood death
Living Dead Girl - Sexual Predators/Abuse
Wintergirls - Eating Disorders
Kissing Doorknobs - OCD/Mental Illness
Deerskin - Rape/Incest
Almost Perfect - Transgender Relationships
Dark Sons - Split Families
Will Grayson, Will Grayson - Gay Acceptance
Fahrenheit 451 - Censorship
What are your top ten issue books? Or is there an issue you think isn't given proper treatment in literature? Please link to your posts, and remember to visit the meme hosters!
I will consider Kissing Doorknobs, I enjoy stories on Mental Illness.

Great choices! I haven't seen anyone include transgender relationships yet so I'll be sure to check out Almost Perfect really soon.

Oh, I love "The Book Thief." I had and ARC that was tattered from rereads, so the hubby finally bought me a beautiful hardcover for my shelf.
