I meant to comment on that last post about YA but got distracted by something. I pretty much adore Fledgling and I wish there was a way to find out what was supposed to happen in the rest of the series.
Thief, which is technically children's fiction and not YA, has a male protagonist and is in first person, while the rest of the series is in very limited third person and Megan Whalen Turner makes use of that in an absolutely brilliant way. I've never read something that really uses POV so throughly and so well.
And Richard Peck's A Long Way From Chicago and A Year Down Yonder are in first person too (and are also children's lit.)
I can't think of anything in future tense or 2nd person, though I'm sure someone out there is experimenting with them.
