I give my last vote to Postcards from No Man’s Land (tough choice though!).

Thanks for those links, Bookworm_Girl. That timeline is interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed librarians created the term Young Adult. I read a couple of the seminal books mentioned there for the first time in the last few years - The Outsiders and The Chocolate War - as well as A Separate Peace and I Capture the Castle which I think are other fine examples.
