Is YA the same as Dystopian fiction?

[Mark Robson]

Ooh can you suggest a recent YA steampunk to read? Also what do you mean by purity, not sure I get it. Apols for being dense!

My favourite by far is Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines, which is finally being made into a film by none other than Peter Jackson. Should be spectacular. The book is awesome and he has written quite a few more overlapping books in the same world.

Brilliant books.

Rick Riordan's books are the epitome of YA, and not a dystopian book in sight
