Resilience building stories for teens

Both contain Positive endings and stories about individual growth for this age group: Johnson, Maureen. 13 Little Blue Envelopes. When seventeen-year-old Ginny receives a packet of mysterious envelopes from her favorite aunt, she leaves New Jersey to crisscross Europe on a sort of scavenger hunt that transforms her life.
Merullo, Roland. The Talk-Funny Girl. Raised in isolation in New Hampshire, Marjorie seems to be from another planet with its own language. Her seventeenth year brings love and possibly freedom from her dangerous parents.
And maybe some nonfiction like Jeannette Wall's The Glass Castle. Nice way to present perspective and also positive ending.
Hope this helps,
