Favorite coming of age young adult novel?

Either Great Expectations or Harry Potter. Many people do consider the Harry Potter books bildungsromans because we grow up with him throughout the series, and mature just as he does. I know they are frowned upon by many older answerers on this site, but I love them for their creativity and nostalgiac purposes. Great Expectations on the other hand has some of the most eccentric, amazing characters in literature. I just love when Miss Havisham lights on fire.

Dangerous Days and its sequel Blades both by J. William Turner. Fictional autobiographies about teens in several life and death situations set in Australia, England and California during 1981-2001.
