YA book question - asexuality

[rm]

I promised some folks in a panel the other day that I'd ask here.

Does anyone know of any YA books with asexual characters or plot themes. Not non-sexual/non-romantic, although the recs might be welcome, but asexual.

Thanks!

Not sure whether it'd count as YA, although I think it'd be appropriate, but the Tarma and Kethry trilogy from the Valdemar series; Oathbound, Oathbreakers, and Oathblood, I believe. Tarma's a celibate warrior-priestess. Initial reasons for this involve some pretty negative stuff (murder of her clan and gang-rape), so if you're looking for it being portayed as normative, this wouldn't be it.

I like the character enough that my dog's name is Tarma, though.
