About a half-dozen $1.99 YA bargains from HarperCollins being offered as part of a Kobo Canada “vote for your favourites” contest (prices should mostly be the same in the US and the other retailers): Imagination Fuel for Kids & Teens

This includes the classic Newbery Medal-winner Bridge to Terabithia (Wikipedia) by Katherine Paterson, and Canadian Governor General Award winners Kenneth Oppel (Wikipedia) & John Klassen's standalone illustrated ghostly fantasy The Nest

Another $1.99 HarperCollins deal is fantasy artist Brom's (Wikipedia) illustrated fantasy novel The Child Thief, which the blurb calls a dark take on Peter Pan.

Chronicle Books also has some kids/YA titles of potential interest:

@ 99 cents each for what looks like the entire series of Annie Barrows' (Wikipedia) popular Ivy & Bean series about two girls' friendship: linkage for the lot via the author's name, sorted by price.

@ $1.99 by The Revelation of Louisa May by Michaela McColl, a standalone YA historical novel with mystery elements about the classic author of Little Women, which the blurb says was a Junior Guild selection.

And at the $2.99 mark from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt:

The Girl Who Could Not Dream by Mythopoeic Prize recipient Sarah Beth Durst (Wikipedia), a tween contemporary fantasy. I really enjoyed her YA-compatible adult-level fantasy novel Queen of Blood (currently on sale for $1.99) and am willing to give this a try.
Nadia: The Girl Who Could Not Sit Still by Karlin Gray, an illustrated children's biography of Romanian Olympic gold medalist gymnast Nadia Comăneci (Wikipedia), who was the first person ever to be awarded a perfect score. This is an ePub3 which will require a compatible device.

ETA: 2 more tween/YA-friendly biographies from HMH @ $1.99-$2.99 (Canada is $2.99, but the US is more sporadic about which books here correspond to which price there)

Florence Nightingale: The Courageous Life of the Legendary Nurse by Catherine Reef
Ida M. Tarbell: The Woman Who Challenged Big Business—and Won! by Emily Arnold McCully about the intrepid 19th century investigative journalist (Wikipedia), who has an open source webpublishing software project named for her, in case any kids you know might be into making DIY websites
