Anyone know of any YA's that have duel Point of View characters that also slip between past and present tense?

I couldn't think of a book offhand, but after some searching...
Do you mean like Jennifer Donnelly's Revolution which also changes time periods?

Oh..but no sword fights or pistols at 20 paces. Sorry

SLIDING ON THE EDGE by C. Lee McKenzie. POV switches between teen girl and her grandmother. Girl's voice is first-person present tense, grandmother's is third-person past tense.

This is really bad, but I remember a YA book that used dual viewpoints (boy/girl) and past/present. What I don't remember whether is whether the present story line was written in past or present tense. I really liked how everything dovetailed at the end perfectly. But sorry, I don't remember either title or author.

Then there's Moon Over Manifest, which has two historical periods being covered and it's superbly done. One of my favorites.

13 Reasons Why comes to mind, but it's been so long since I read it that I can't remember the tenses of the povs.

This is a good start!
I've read Thirteen reason's, also and had forgotten the Duel-etc.
Thank you! Anyone else??

Maybe the Shiver Trilogy books by Maggie Stiefvater?

Angela,
The End of the Line is an amazing read as well!

I think If A Tree Falls at Lunchtime by Gennifer Choldenko might be like this. I think it has a dual first/third and may switch tenses as well.

Great! I'll check it out-Also, maybe I dreamt this, but has anyone heard that editors love this kind of book? Dual POV's?
